If you encounter difficulty with course material, you should seek assistance as soon as possible. Discuss your difficulties with your instructor or with your residential college dean or director of studies to determine the best way to tackle the situation. There are a number of opportunities for help available to you. Individual Peer Tutoring Students may receive a maximum of 15 hours of individual tutoring per course, per term. Only students with serious difficulties understanding course material should seek tutoring; it will not help you improve an already solid grade. If you think you need a tutor, talk to your instructor or see your residential college dean or director of studies, who will assign you a tutor to contact. Students are charged for tutoring on a sliding scale, depending upon their financial aid status. Study Halls Assistance in introductory-level mathematics, chemistry, and physics is available in the fall term; assistance in mathematics and physics is available in the spring term. The fall schedule is Sunday through Wednesday nights, 7:30&endash;10:30 p.m.; the spring schedule is Sunday and Wednesday nights, 7:30&endash;10:30 p.m. The study halls are staffed by graduate students in engineering and advanced undergraduates, who are available to help students who drop in with specific assignments. B.S.E. Sophomore Study Halls The School of Engineering and Applied Science and Tau Beta Pi sponsor drop-in help sessions in the Engineering Quadrangle for a number of sophomore-level courses in engineering. Contact the SEAS Office of Undergraduate Affairs for the schedule, 8-4554. Residential College Review Sessions Many residential colleges offer review sessions, led by graduate students or advanced undergraduates, for courses with large enrollments. There have been weekly review sessions in Physics 103-104, Organic Chemistry, Economics 101 and 102, and math courses. Check with your residential college dean or director of studies for a list of review sessions offered in the residential colleges. If you don't find what you need, ask if a review session might be started in your college. The Writing Center One-to-one assistance in planning, organizing, drafting, and revising course papers as well as junior projects and senior theses is available free of charge through the Writing Center in Notestein Hall. The tutors are experienced writers and teachers, trained to help you with writing in any discipline. The earlier you visit the Writing Center, the more help you will receive in coping with important questions essential to good writing: Is my paper carefully structured? Are its arguments clear and convincing? Are its ideas well supported? The Writing Center is not an editing service, although the staff will be glad to help you make sure your writing is correct in its usage and grammar. Afternoon and evening hours are available; call 8-2702 to make an appointment through the Princeton Writing Program office.
