Tutoring

I'd like to inform you of the tutoring opportunities available to you this semester. The details have just been ironed out...

Arrangements have been made to have a student tutor available
for our course (Econ 122 Wed 5-8pm) and for the principles of macroeconomics
course (Econ 121) taught by Dr. David Yerger also on Wed from 5-8pm.

The student tutor is Ali Cannoni and she will be available on Mondays
from 4-6pm in the classroom McElhaney 206 (top floor of building),
starting this Monday Feb 5.

Please understand that this tutoring has nothing to do with the
Learning Enhancement Center and its offered walk-in assistance. The
director of the LEC regards it as an acceptable outcome that the only
night peer assistance is offered for Econ 121 and 122 is the only
night of the week that ECON 121 & 122 are taught. The economics
department has no control over these decisions. We pointed out the
obvious shortcomings in their scheduled times, and the LEC Director
responded that no change would be made in the tutor hours for these
two courses.

Dr. Yerger and I feel strongly that night class students should have
access to tutor support so we decided to pay Ms. Cannoni from our own
personal funds. Obviously, we are setting this whole thing up on the
fly so please be patient if the first week or two has a couple
glitches, if they happen we'll get things figured out going forward.

Good luck on your studies this week.

Regards,

JJ
