What should a student do if they have trouble engaging regularly in their coursework?

When students encounter difficulties engaging regularly in their coursework, reaching out to their program mentor for support is the most constructive approach. Program mentors are experienced professionals who can offer personalized guidance, resources, and strategies tailored to the student's specific challenges. They understand the demands of the coursework and can help the student develop a plan to improve engagement, address any underlying issues, and keep the student on track towards their academic goals. Utilizing this support system can lead to a more successful and fulfilling educational experience.

In contrast, ignoring the issues will likely lead to further disengagement and potential failure in the coursework. Switching to a different program may not resolve the core issues impacting engagement and can prolong the challenges faced. Taking a break from studies might provide temporary relief, but it does not address the reasons for disengagement and may lead to difficulties resuming coursework later. Therefore, contacting the program mentor is the most proactive and effective option for students facing engagement challenges.
