Subject: Physics tutors
needed for Academic Resource Center
Hello all,
It was good to meet you
yesterday at the faculty meeting. I hope we can come up with some effective and
efficient ways of recruiting and retaining students.
One retention issue is student
performance in intro science courses. If students don’t do well, many
times they leave the sciences. This year we started a pilot tutoring program for
Bio 13, and we would like to try something similar for Physics 1,2 and 11, 12.
What we need from you is to
please encourage any student you feel would make a good tutor to sign up for
tutoring in the spring. The ARC never has enough physics tutors, and we want to
try and remedy this for next semester. If we get enough tutors, we can try some
new things.
Please have any student you
think would make a good tutor contact Robin Olinsky at robin olinsky tufts edu
Thanks,
Travis
