"I came in to learn about test anxiety, but what Mr. Phaneuf left me with was much more. Not just was I more confident in how I would deal with the upcoming test, I also was inspired to be a more confident person in everyday life." - David Valdez

"My name is Mauricio Flores and I am a Freshman Electrical Engineering major. Last semester, I attended one of Bob Phaneuf’s workshops, entitled “Study Skills and Time Management”.  It related to different approaches that specialists recommend for students to excel in college and not get overwhelmed,  while trying to do our best in our academic studies. At the very beginning, I did not really feel like attending it because I was just being forced to attend it, it was not my choice. However, after attending it, I am very glad to say that it was really helpful to me. In that workshop I learned how to get my time organized in order to prepare better for my exams.  I learned how to keep my mind clear while trying to grasp enormous amounts of information, and even more important, I learned how to keep calm and relax when critical moments come. Overall, attending this workshop was a really good way to get some important and useful information/tips about how to survive and excel in college. My hard work together with my efficient study methods gave me a GPA of 4.0 this past semester and currently they are helping me to keep my academic results at a high standard."

  "My name is Adairis Ceballos and I was a student that took [Bob's NCB-1000 class]....Time management was very difficult for me to adjust to [but] with the help of some exercises in this class I was able to accomplish it. The 30 minutes study strategy works great; it makes your mind keep going and wanting to learn more instead of crashing on you."
