This is particularly important considering the cumulative nature of the course. Typically, the tutor and the client meet once a week at a mutually convenient time and together they address difficulties encountered in the course. For example, the client might ask the tutor to go over some aspect of Keynesian theory that they were having difficulty understanding. At the outset, the student signs a contract indicating that they will participate in the peer tutoring process for a specified number of weeks. You are expected to honour your commitments to turn up at the agreed upon time and place.
Tutors are second year students who have successfully completed the course.
All tutors have gone through a selection process and a training session held in October. They receive on-going support from current Macroeconomics teachers and the representatives of the Peer Tutoring project. Typically, you would be working with a tutor who has taken the course with your instructor. To make the best use of your time, you may wish to identify specific topics or areas of concern that you would like to go over. For example, if you just can t grasp the notion of exchange rates you might ask your tutor to work with you on the topic for that appointment.
