SLC Chemistry 1A Services: Fall 2008

The Student Learning Center offers three types of support for students in Chem 1A:

Drop-in Tutoring

Study Groups

Mock Exams

Study Groups for Chem 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.

Sign-up for these study groups is required because of their high demand. When you sign up, you are asked what times best fit into your schedule. Basically, you are voting for times. The times for the study groups will then be set so that they accommodate the most students. Times of the groups are not known in advance because they depend on the students' schedules.

The SLC provides Drop-in tutoring for all students in Chem 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.

Mock Exams for Chem 1A
Mock Exams occur the weekend before each midterm or final in the course and are typically three hours long. At a Mock Exam, students will be given a practice exam written by the SLC and about an hour to work on it like it was a real exam. Then, tutors will go over the Mock Exam with an emphasis on providing tips on how to approach the real midterm or final.

Mock Exams are designed to assist students in self-assessing their comprehension of the course material and problem solving skills. Answers to Mock Exams are not printed or posted.

The time and location of the Mock Exam for Midterm #1 will be posted by Mon, Sept 8.
