Subject Area Tutoring Programs Study Smarter!

Greetings, Tutors–

First announcement for the week is that the next pay period ends this weekend.  Be sure to submit your hours on PeopleSoft and log all sessions in TutorTrac.  To make sure that everything is all set, you can run a report in TutorTrac.  Click on the “reports” link on the left side bar and choose scheduling.  Under the scheduling menu, choose “appointments/students by.”  If you are missing any appointments, you can add them in and if there are errors, email me and let me know what changes to make to fix it.

Last pay period, there were a number of problems approving time.  By talking to you (and thank you all for being so patient and helpful in discovering this problem!) I was able to contact TutorTrac with the problem and have learned that there is a difference between what is labeled and recorded in TutorTrac as an appointment, and what is labeled and recorded as a visit.  Appointments are only those sessions scheduled in the Co-op.  There is a small box at the bottom of the lognote that asks if this appointment should be “linked to a visit.”  Please choose yes by checking the box.  This means that when students sign in at the kiosk, as they are supposed to do, TutorTrac will link the scheduled appointment to this student’s arrival.  This will make the records TutorTrac generates more accurate.

We have been approached by Athletics to provide a drop-in group tutoring session for Anatomy and Physiology for athletes on Sunday evenings.  Would anyone be interested in leading these sessions?  They are looking for someone to start as soon as possible–this weekend if you can!– so if you are interested, let me know!

Finally, we have a list of tutor requests.  If you have taken the course, gotten a B+ or better, and want to tutor for it, email the link for a faculty recommendation and shoot me an email to let me know you’re interested.  That link again is: http://www.uvm.edu/~learnco/sat/facrec/

Hello, Tutors!

A few updates for you today.

TutorTrac, in all of its tutor trac-ing glory, has decided to eat some appointments.  That is, for some of you entering your appointments perfectly correctly, they are not showing up when I run a report or even search for your appointments.  Because of this, I may have contacted you because numbers didn’t match for payroll approval.  Thank you all for being patient with me and for those who stopped by to clear things up, thank you!  Because of this I was able to find the problem and am working with our friends at TutorTrac to get it fixed.

Did you know the Learning Co-op is cool enough to have a facebook account?  Well, it is.  And you should be a fan, and encourage tutees to become fans, too.  We update it regularly with group tutoring times and the like.  Here’s the link, incase you’re interested: http://www.facebook.com/pages/University-of-Vermont-Learning-Co-op/177491804873?ref=ts

And, as always, I bid you adieu this week with a litany of tutoring requests.  If you see a course you’ve taken in the past and would like to try your hand at tutoring for it, request a faculty recommendation from your professor by sending them the following link  http://www.uvm.edu/~learnco/sat/facrec/ and send me a quick email.  Thanks!
