About ARC
The ARC is a comprehensive learning center with a variety of services available for students and faculty. Our free services include:
Peer Tutoring
Peer tutoring is a free drop-in service, open to all students. Our tutors are top-performing undergraduate and graduate students who help students gain a sound understanding of course concepts and materials. They are chosen on basis of their area of expertise. Tutors are available either on a drop-in basis or in group consultation.
Exam Reviews
Exam Reviews help students with successful strategies for review on their answers guided by a tutor. Students test themselves both, to practice for the exam and to diagnose areas of weakness. To help students visualize quality responses on free response questions, students practice exam-related problem samples.
Workshops and Seminars
We also conduct the following which helps students plan their study schedules:
- Subject related workshops during the semester
- Educational Strategies Workshop in the beginning of the semester.
Group Study
ARC promotes subject-related group study. Tables are assigned for related subjects promoting discussion study. This helps students to recall and organize their study patterns.
