Guided Study Group Sessions

Student teaching assistants will hold study sessions each week. To succeed in this course, you need to learn/study outside of class. Attending study sessions is a productive way to study, and has been shown to improve student success. That is, students who attend study sessions earn higher grades than those who do not. The schedules for these sessions (along with individual tutoring appointments) can be found on TutorTrac at: behrend.psu.edu/tutorappointments.

 

Exam Prep Sessions

Peer tutors will hold an exam preparation session a few days before each exam. Please come prepared to ask questions! The schedules for these sessions (along with individual tutoring appointments) can be found on TutorTrac at: behrend.psu.edu/tutorappointments.
