Guidelines for Students
So that the computer science tutors can make the most
effective use of their time assisting you, please observe the following
guidelines:
- Please be prepared before asking for help.
Here are some ideas for what to do:
- Write down a list of questions.
- Highlight sections in the book,
on the assignments, or on class handouts.
- Develop pseudocode for your algorithms.
- Prepared partial program code.
- Bring your own books, assignments, notes, etc.
The tutors will not always have them available.
- Please don't monopolize a tutor. They have many others to serve.
- Tutors will only be available during posted times.
If you need additional help, see your instructor or arrange for a
private tutor.
You can ask Amy
(aaldridg@butler.edu)
to request a private tutor.
- If several of you are working on the same problems, please try to
sit near one another so the tutor can address the whole group,
and avoid repeating themselves.
- Please be courteous to the tutors and others in the laboratory.
- Please feel free to share your thoughts, both positive and negative,
about the tutoring process with Amy or the department faculty.
We take your input seriously.
- See the
rules and guidelines
for the FB148 computer lab.
