The program provides free individual or group tutoring throughout the semester for students who are enrolled in Econ 101, Econ 102, Econ 201, Econ 202, or Econ 205. The tutors are undergraduate majors who have generally excelled in the specific course in which they are tutoring. If you are interested in receiving help from a tutor , ask your course instructor for the name of the tutor assigned to your course and then arrange an appointment with that tutor by following the instructions posted on the bulletin board outside of the department office. If you are interested in becoming a tutor , you should contact Professor Winston Chiong . Prospective tutors should have a strong background in economics and have successfully completed the course in which they wish to tutor.
Tutors receive an hourly wage and generally find tutoring to be an excellent learning experience.
The lab is not staffed, but is open when the economics office is staffed. The Economics Society is a club made up of economics majors and other students interested in economics. The Society's activities provide students with an opportunity to meet one another, as well as to interact with faculty members outside of the classroom. The department also turns to the Economics Society to obtain student input in formulating and carrying out departmental policies and activities. If there aren't any announcements, consider the possibility of playing a leadership role in getting things started.
