Students share their experience in the program
"Attending the LINC College Prep class was the best decision that I have made as it has made things easier for me in my college program. I have learned a lot of important things like how to cite and reference according to APA style. In addition, I learned how to organize my writing by following an outline. Lastly and most importantly, I have learned how to pay attention to the details”.

I have gotten many insights in this course on how to effectively manage my studies and time in college. In addition, it was a good opportunity to learn reference style and how to cite it in my essay, and a number of grammar skills as well.
I am grateful to my excellent professor Janice, who encourages students to achieve their goals and complete this course. Also, I will miss my classmates who went through together this challenging course.
