Subject Area Tutoring Programs Study Smarter!

Hello, Tutors–

I’m sure I don’t need to remind you that there is only about a week and a half left of classes this semester.  I may have to remind you, however, that the LAST DAY of TUTORING is WEDNESDAY, MAY 2.  No tutoring appointments may be scheduled after May 2.

The final payroll submission deadline for this semester is SUNDAY, APRIL 29.  You will receive your last paycheck on Friday, May 4.  (If you work hours the week of April 30-May 4, your final paycheck will be issued on Friday, May 18.  It can be mailed to you if you will already be gone for the summer, just let us know where it needs to go.)

As a thank-you for all of the amazing work you have done this semester, the Learning Co-op and Academic Support Programs is hosting a student staff-appreciation event just for you on Thursday, May 3 from 2:00-4:00 pm in the Fireplace Lounge in L/L!  Please RSVP online.

SI Leaders and Drop-In tutors interested in holding final exam reviews after May 2, please let me know no later than Wednesday, April 25 what date and time you would like to hold sessions.  Our final exam review session schedule must be completed by May 1.  Thanks!

As one last reminder, if you tutor in the Co-op, please be mindful of where our furniture is located to be accessible to all students who use our space and please do not move chairs between cubicles.

Best,
Rachel

Somehow we find ourselves in the middle of April, with only a week and a half of classes left in the semester.  Whoa.  There’s some stuff we should talk about.

#1: The LAST DAY OF TUTORING is WEDNESDAY, MAY 2.  The same as the last day of classes.  No appointments may be scheduled after this date.  If you wish to hold a group session for an exam review, (SI Leaders, you too) please let me know the preferred day and time no later than Friday, April 20.

#2: I know this is a busy time of year, but if you have signed up for Co-op availabilities you are expected to honor these appointments.  The weeks in preparation for finals are some of our busiest times, and to provide the best service for students we must be able to provide our Co-op hours.  Unless there is an emergency, I will not cancel or remove any availabilities from the Co-op schedule from now until the end of the semester.

#3: If you will be around this summer and are interested in tutoring, please let me know.  While the Co-op is not officially open during the summer months, we will post a list of tutors in the area available for private tutoring on our website.

#4: We have received requests for tutors in the following courses and do not currently have any tutors on our active list able to meet these requests.  If you are able to tutor one of these courses, please let me know ASAP.

NFS 163, NR 140 and SOC 014

Enjoy the sunshine this weekend!

Best,
Rachel

One: Our resume-building workshop with Career Services in tonight from 5:30-7:00 in L/L CM 315. I know you’re enjoying the sunshine, but bring your resume (or the blank piece of paper masquerading as your resume) over tonight for some expert advice.

Two: Would anyone be interested in leading a regular study group for EC 012?

Three: I have received requests for tutors in the following classes.  If you would like to tutor any of these courses, please let me know ASAP so I can match you with the student:

Hello, All!

3. To thank you for all of your hard work this year, we are planning a Student Appreciation Day for all student employees in Academic Support Programs.  The event will be May 3 from 2:00-4:00 pm in the Fireplace Lounge.  We would like to hear from you what kind of event this should be.  Complete the online survey to give us feedback about what kind of FREE food and activities you would like to have.
