Steps for Success!
#5 Read Before Class
Do not underestimate the benefits of reading your assigned readings and notes before class.

#6 Use the SQ4R Method
Survey the chapter, ask Questions, Read and Reflect on the material, Record notes in your own words, and Review your notes.

#7 Use Short Forms
Speed up your note taking in class by using abbreviations (short forms) and symbols. Worry about grammar and spelling afterwards

  • Virtual tours, each lasting approximately 1 hour, are offered to the public, to schools, and to community groups
  • Indigenous students are strongly encouraged to self-identify and submit their interest. 
  • Guides may choose to interpret Indigenous artworks and share cultural knowledge with a larger audience. 
  • Participating Gallery Guides will receive an honorarium for their time and experience. 

Requirements: 
  • Microphone and camera enabled computer or tablet with a good internet connection
  • Access to and knowledge of Google Suite 
  • Attend a virtual training session with an AGW staff member and Gallery Guide
