  4. Is your student spending too much time? • Should be approximately 2.5 hours/week total. • If your student is spending significantly more time than that, have him/her come and talk with me.

  5. Is Your Student Confused?

  6. Times Available • Tutorials are a great time for your student to come and ask questions. • As the year progresses, I may institute a “mandatory” tutorial visit for students with low test scores. If they don’t appear, you may see an email from me. • Test debrief during class and tutorial.
