Schedule and Tutor Information

Academic Excellence Workshops...are offered to accompany selected math, physics and engineering courses each semester. They are strongly based on group interactions to build communication and community in the context of the technical subject matter. The workshops each meet twice a week for two hours. They are not meant to be drop-in sessions, although students whose schedules only allow them to attend one of the workshops will not be turned away. Regular participation in these workshops have been shown to increase student performance a full grade in the course.

Here is the schedule of workshops for Spring 2012 held in the MESA Lab, Room 714, unless otherwise shown. Workshops will begin the second week of classes.

MESA boasts many fine academic staff members. Some are available for drop-in tutoring and group tutoring, and others are Academic Excellence Workshop leaders. The tables below show when they are available, and whether they are leading a workshop or available for drop-in. To determine what their fields of expertise are, consult the MESA Staff Description below the tutor schedule.

This schedule reflects our best estimate of when tutors will be available. Please be aware, however, that schedules change, things come up for people, inaccuracies can occur in keeping this table updated. We cannot guarantee that all the tutors will be available exactly as shown.
