To make the most of your tutoring and workshop session(s):
- Request a tutor at the beginning of the term.
- Come to each of your tutoring or workshop sessions prepared. Preparation includes brining with you your textbooks, notes, and specific questions concerning the material. The more prepared, the more you will get out of the session.
- Tutors do not serve as a substitute for our instructional faculty. They will not "lecture" or "re-teach." They will provide strategies to help you improve your approach to mastering your course content. Tutoring is not a substitute for missed classes. If you miss class, make sure you get notes from a classmate and meet with your professor during office hours.
