Calculus II Recitation

1. Be prepared. Bring your notes, syllabus, and any pertinent materials related to your class. Any forms of research material are extremely helpful.
2. Be on time. Sessions are one hour in length. While workshops consist of a maximum of 10 students, our tutors need all of this time in order to provide each participant with the necessary attention and detail to his/her progress.
3. Be consistent. Your professor may provide an extra credit incentive. In order to receive the possible extra credit, be consistent in your session attendance. If you register for a session but do not attend, your spot in the session will be reopened to other students.
4. Be receptive. You will receive a variety of strategies, organizers, handouts, and study rubrics throughout the sessions. Keep these in your ‘metacognitive bank’ and ask your tutor questions. You are also expected to participate in the sessions via working with other students/the tutor/responding to surveys sent by CfAS.
5. Be responsible. Keep your Panther ID handy when you arrive to the center. You must enter your information at the front area of our center, and make sure that your tutor records your attendance. At the end of the semester these records will be submitted to your professor after completion of the end of semester survey.
