Tips for Students

TIPS FOR THE STUDENT:

  • Make an effort to do homework before coming in for help, and make sure to bring in all the material (notes, books, calculators, etc.)
  • Start on  midterm projects the very first week of class and on final projects at least 3 months in advance. Even if a student has a good idea for a project, he or she may have difficulty gathering the data and may be forced to change topic. 
  • Come see tutors in groups of 3-4 people when possible. Tutors will be able to spend more time with a group, provide better examples, and answer more questions.
  • During the lecture, ask questions at the very end of class, and WRITE DOWN what the instructor says. Even if the student is still unclear, the instructor's answer will help tutors address the issue.
  • Be respectful of others; if a student makes an appointment, he or she should show up or email the tutor ahead of time to cancel/reschedule.
