1.
Tutors will
help students in subjects related to Computer Science. The tutor may also be of
assistance to other students needing help with computer skills.
2.
Please bring your
text and notes with you to tutoring lessons. You will find your session with the
tutor more helpful if you narrow your questions in advance: Is there a
particular problem you can’t do? A specific concept you don’t understand? Where
does the reading become confusing?
3.
The tutor will not
do homework for you, but rather will listen to you in order to determine what
you are having difficulty understanding and help you understand the methods and
concepts involved.
4.
When several
students need help, the tutor will limit the time spent with each student (about
15-20 minutes).
5.
The tutor is only
expected to help during the times stated above.
6.
The students with
any questions also can send an email to the tutors.
7.
Recognize that the
tutor is your peer, not an instructor. There may be some topics in your course
that lie beyond the tutor’s expertise. When that occurs and if time permits the
tutor may be able to read and work through the section with you. Your instructor
is also happy here to meet with you and help you understand. Consult your
syllabus for office hours!
