If they do not answer correctly, they are prohibited from advancing. Once they complete the Orientation and Quiz successfully, they are required to complete a 5 question evaluation of the program before they are considered to have satisfied the Orientation requirement. We hope to get our first group of data for a cohort review for those in this initial program. A small pilot was conducted during the first week of classes. We incorrectly estimated the group we chose to sample, but gained some insight from the pilot regardless.
Students always have the option of directly e-mailing the tutor directly as well.
We hope to expand the subjects available for tutoring in the Spring semester after we evaluate the progress of the pilot. The Online Tutoring will also be the prototype model for the Online Academic Advising program that we hope to launch in late Spring with a pilot for Summer 2000. New Look We are launching our new look and re-architectured site at the end of October 2000. This site will condense many of the current sites into organized categories, enhancing the navigation of the site. With this change, we have been able to improve and increase the web presence of many programs and services, most importantly Student Development.
