Using the ARC
|
How the ARC Works Try to schedule an appointment ahead of time. Although walk-ins are welcome, we can't promise that we will have a tutor available. When you schedule an ARC appointment, you will be asked for information that helps the tutor prepare for the session. The more specific you are in providing this information (see making an appointment), the more prepared your tutor can be. After the appointment, the tutor completes a brief form to send to your professor, letting him or her know that you're a diligent student who's seeking extra help to master the course. You may decline to have a report sent to your professor; however, the ARC will confirm attendance if requested. |

Seek help at the first sign of trouble.

 |
Come Prepared. If you can't get a concept, come at least having tried to get it. Bring notebooks, textbooks, homework attempts--essentially anything that may help you and your tutor during your session.
|
 |
Be Patient. Don't assume that every problem can be settled with a single session. You may feel that your difficulty lies in a certain area, but our tutors may notice that you also need to develop some other skill, or that what you thought was the problem wasn't really a problem at all. |
