  16. PASS- Spring 2010Evaluation • Student Interviews- Fall 2010 • What are some successful skills you have used? “I use a lot of time management skills now. I keep a schedule of my week with me all the time.” “I go to the instructors a lot more now. Before I wouldn’t have talked to them but I feel a lot better about doing that.”
