Chemistry Study Tutoring Summary

Step 1: Familiarize yourself with your tutoring options

Begin by familiarizing yourself with the tutoring options available to you, to do this follow the directions in the learning assistance page from the introductory module. I highly recommend using Valencia’s tutoring over Brainfuse, but either will count for credit.

Step 2: Attend tutoring

Next, attend tutoring a maximum of 4 separate times for a minimum of an hour each time (the sessions have to be on different days you cannot attend tutoring two times for 2 hours or one time for 4 hours). You have all semester to complete this assignment so I am confident that you are capable of making time in your schedule for your education 😀

Before a Session: Prepare for a tutoring session the same way that you would for your own personal study session. Jot down the concepts that you want to cover in that session and problems that you want to work on. Good places to start looking for ideas of what to ask during tutoring are the weekly learning objectives for this class. You will benefit more from tutoring if you come with concepts and questions prepared, BUT it’s always better to attend (unprepared) than to never attend.
