Throughout the semester the Biology and Chemistry faculty will be holding seven workshops either face-to-face or on Zoom. In-person sessions will not be recorded. Remote Zoom sessions will be recorded for those unable to attend. Recordings will be posted within 48 hours to the Tutoring Center Blackboard Shell under the Science Resources on the left-hand panel. Students registered in “courses for this workshop” are welcome to attend these sessions.
In addition, students are welcome to attend faculty and peer one-on-one tutoring appointments, open lab, and self-study. Students are permitted to make up to two one-on-one tutoring appointments a day (back-to-back are allowed), up to three 25-minute appointments each week. Students can attend the mid-semester and end of semester Open Labs to study dissected specimens to prepare for laboratory practical examinations. Students can also make an appointment as “self-study” to access laboratory resources in the Tutoring Center: Science (DH 156), including anatomical models, bones, compound light microscope, and histological slides. A resource library of past workshop/focus session recordings are available in the Blackboard Tutoring Center: Math, Writing, & Science Center Shell. Brainfuse, off-campus tutoring is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please see the Blackboard Tutoring Center: Math, Writing, & Science Center shell for additional information.
