The King's College Tutoring Program creates an environment for success, providing student-to-student assistance through individual, group and scheduled evening drop-in tutoring. Students build independence and effective learning habits through active-learning, increased confidence and improved study habits. Tutoring provides course-content assistance to students, free of charge, in most disciplines.
Tutors are selected through an interview process and the recommendation from their instructors or the tutorial coordinator. Qualified tutors must receive at least a grade of B+ or above in the courses being tutored or demonstrate equivalent experience. Tutors gain professional development through training and actual work experience. The King's College Tutoring Program is certified by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). Tutors, who meet specific requirements, may receive recognition as a certified tutor through CRLA. King's College has been certified at Levels I and II.
This option is designed for specific high demand courses. Students may drop in and get answers to specific questions or receive help with specific assignments from an individual peer-tutor. No appointment is necessary.
Located in Mulligan Building (Across from the Post Office), The Writing Lab provides services to students seeking to improve their writing in any course.
Individual tutoring is available for those classes not offered in evening drop-in tutoring. You will be matched with a tutor to work one-on-one with you. You and your tutor will agree upon tutoring times to accommodate both your schedules. Your tutor will meet with you on a regular basis , providing continual support of your learning throughout the semester.
Stop by the Academic Skills Center in Mulligan 94 and complete an Individual Tutor Request Form for each course in which you would like to receive tutoring. Within a few business days, you will be contacted by the Tutorial Coordinator to schedule an initial meeting with your tutor and the Tutorial Coordinator. During this brief meeting you will meet your assigned tutor, discuss responsibilities and expectations, as well as schedule your first tutoring session.
Tutoring is one of the most enjoyable jobs on campus. The satisfaction at having made a difference is someone's academic life is enormous. Tutoring is also a good paying job and hours are extremely flexible.
The best tutors are King's students who have already taken the course and received a grade of at least "B+" or better in the course in which they wish to tutor, and recommendations from a faculty member. A good tutor must be able to teach another student how to study the course material and to review specific course content.
Knowledge: You are required to have strong working knowledge of specific course content and must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.
Interpersonal Skills: You must demonstrate effective skills in working collaboratively with peers and teaching with compassion. You must be good problem solvers.
Organizational Abilities: You must demonstrate abilities in managing tasks, maintaining schedules, managing time, and completing your own work assignments thoroughly.
Stop by the Academic Skills Center, Mulligan 94, for an appointment to see the Tutorial Coordinator.
Complete one tutor orientation training session as a prerequisite before tutoring begins. New tutor orientation training sessions are announced each semester.
Contingent upon the requests and availability of tutors in specific subjects, you can start working immediately after training.
You will meet with your tutee in the Tutorial Coordinator's office to arrange a mutually agreeable time and place to conduct tutoring sessions.

So I was re-reading some blogs on the JDK 7 language changes and I noticed the following idiom seems popular:
That seems all well and good; but consider what happens should something goes wrong constructing the BufferedReader. The contract for try-with-resources will only try to close and tidy up the declared field, if something goes wrong then FileReader is never closed.
This gets us the following output and as such the close is not performed on the FileReader which until the finaliser is called. You are stuck until the gc wakes up in the future to tidy it up.
Luckily there is an easy fix for this, the language change supports multiple entries in try statement, so you can modify this code to be:
So problem solved, well unfortunately there is another wrinkle here, if we remove the code that throws the Error then we will see the following output:
So this is fine for classes that implement the existing java.io.Closeble interface because calling close for a second time is fine; but the more generic interface that is used for other closeable resources unfortunately doesn't have this restriction, so quote the spec
So in order to using a split-try-with-resources idiom you first need to make sure that the resources have a idempotent close method. I suspect that most API will do this; but you need to check first and perhaps need to further wrap your objects to make this the case.
One final point with try-with-resource is the handling of exceptions when the close and construction fails. JDK 7 introduced the concept of suppressed exceptions, so you it make the split version of the code throw an exception both in the constructor or the MyBufferedReader and in the close of MyFileReader you get to see the following novel stack trace.
This might not be what you calling code is expecting - certainly it might differ slightly from what the try/finally code you are replacing would produce, worth know thing that exceptions are handled slightly differently. For example if there is just an Error thrown during the close method would would see this odd self-referential stack trace.
So the lesson here is that the impact of some of the new JDK 7 constructs are going to a little bit subtler than we might expect. Many thanks to my valued colleague Mark Warner for talking this one through with me.
While I agree that there is a potential resource leak, I don't think the try-with-resources idiom is to blame. Rather, it's the "new BufferedReader(new FileReader())" idiom, which is something that has been around since the beginning if time. If you rewrite the original code snippet using the old try/finally style, you'll find the exact same problem.
The reason no one bothers about this too much is that it's extremely unlikely that the BufferedReader constructor will ever throw an exception. If it does, it will probably be something fatal like OutOfMemoryError, so your process is toast anyway.
I agree with you that the Buffered/File pattern is common across java code; but this blog doesn't just affect this simple case. I perhaps should have used another example. It is possible that a stack of filters is used for a particular resource and the contraction or any of a number of them could fail and leave a resource open.
You can make the same mistake with try/finally as you say; but the try-with-resources might give some people a false sense of security. So I though it worth pointing out.
Finally I do have to disagree with your final statement that OutOfMemoryError means your process is toast. It is possible that this condition is temporary and in that case you would want the rest of the process to recover from it. There are ways and means of structuring the code so you can recover.
The FileReader will only be closed if the constructor for BufferedReader complete successfully. Try running the code provided in first example to see what happens.
I am not saying that FileReader.close() is never called, only that is cannot be guaranteed to be called. This is an important distinction.
