Your role Come prepared to utilize the tutors time wisely and appropriately. This entails having samples ready for review, having a specific goal/idea of focus for the evening, course materials, resources, and feedback forms from your Professors.

development, please share this with the tutors so that they may be able to better support you. How? In order to serve you more effectively, there will be a sign up time sheet posted every Friday morning on the lab door. Each person will be allotted 25 minutes if meeting on a 1:1 basis, however, if a small group of you wish to meet then the group will be allotted approximately 35 minutes. Please indicate on the time sheet whether your session is individual or group. In order to respect everyones time, please arrive and finish as per your designated time slot. Due to the number of students that may wish to use the service, please sign up for one time slot per student per week. On the day of the tutoring session, you may wish to check the sign up sheets one hour before the scheduled start time and if there are additional time slots available, you may sign up for a second time slot for that week. If you have any concerns or wish to provide suggestions or feedback, please email the program coordinator, Phyllis Beaton Vazquez at [email protected] Thank you.
