 Peer-Based Tutoring:
Let's face it:
we could all use some academic assistance from
time to time. And unfortunately,
teaching assistants and aren't always accessible,
and when they are, sometimes their lesson
doesn't quite stick as well as we
might like.
Sigma Gamma Tau
is trying to fill in those gaps. Our members offer free tutoring hours from 4:00pm-6:00pm on Monday and 3:00pm-5:00pm Thursdays. Our tutors can be found on the 3rd floor of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Library (EPSL) in the Mathematics Building (#084), in the Tesla Room. Most of our tutoring is provided in the following classes:
Note:
Keystone classes are not covered. In an attempt to
offer as much time as possible for the students that
come to our tutoring sessions we're passing on these
courses that already offer additional help. Visit
the A James. Clark School of Engineering Keystone
Center website here.
We're still getting
our tutoring center started. At this time, we're
only able to offer tutoring for Freshman, Sophomore,
and Junior classes. If you're knowledgeable of
Senior-level courses and are willing to donate your
time, please contact us.
Sigma Gamma Tau Tutoring Center Rules: 1. Bring all
of the materials you need. Simply put, we
can't bring a copy of the text for each class, nor
can we anticipate someone needing a calculator or
laptop. If you need it for your assignment, please
bring it yourself.
2. Show
progress on what you have. We can't assist
you if we don't know where you're going wrong. Do
what you can and we'll help you out when you get
stuck.
3. Don't
expect answers. At our tutoring center we
work on problem processes. We may decide to come up
with an example problem to show you how to solve the
one you're having issues with. Don't worry, we're
not trying to avoid helping you; we just find that
you remember the process better if you make the
connection between an example and an assignment.
4. Sometimes
we can't help. Some professors just don't
want any collaboration on assignments (especially if
it's a take-home exam!). If this is the case, we
have to respect your professor's wishes.
