Schedule and Tutor Information

Spring '12 Hours:

Monday - 8am - 9pm
Tuesday-
Thursday: 9am - 8pm
Friday: 8:30am - 4pm
Saturday: 11am - 6pm

Academic Excellence Workshops...are offered to accompany selected math, physics and engineering courses each semester. They are strongly based on group interactions to build communication and community in the context of the technical subject matter. The workshops each meet twice a week for two hours. They are not meant to be drop-in sessions, although students whose schedules only allow them to attend one of the workshops will not be turned away. Regular participation in these workshops have been shown to increase student performance a full grade in the course.

Here is the schedule of workshops for Spring 2012 held in the MESA Lab, Room 714, unless otherwise shown. Workshops will begin the second week of classes.
