SLC Biology 1A/1AL Services: Fall 2009

The SLC offers four types of support for students in Bio 1A/1AL:

Study Groups for Bio 1A

Study Groups meet 2 hours a day, twice each week. In groups, a study group leader coaches the group by reviewing course material, answering questions, working examples to illustrate course concepts, providing worksheets for students to work on together, and helping students develop effective study strategies.

All study groups have room for more students. Just attend the next group meeting and be sure to sign the attendance sheet.

Bio 1A Study Group Schedule

The SLC provides Drop-in tutoring for all students in Bio 1A. Students can come in and talk to a tutor on a first-come, first served basis. The tutors work with students individually or sometimes in small groups, and can answer questions about lectures, course texts, homework problems, sample exams and labs.

No prior signing up is required for Drop-in tutoring. Just come by! Drop-in tutoring is a great way to meet and work with fellow students as well as to get assistance with your course work.

Individual Tutoring
The SLC can sometimes provide a small number of students with weekly 1-on-1 tutors for Bio 1A. Because of limited resources, we typically do this for students who are having difficulty with the course. If you might be interested in having a weekly meeting with a tutor, please email Richard Gibson at rgibson@berkeley.edu.
