ARC tutors and overall ARC improvement #12

Open belonging-in-bio-dino opened 2 years ago

Change: In ARC tutoring department explanation: maybe put the tutors through a more intense training before they can tutor. I think it should be based on other factors then just grades because Sometimes the stem tuturoing sessions are more harmful to me as a student. Sometimes the tutors will teach or explain something different than what the professors said and then the professor marks it wrong on the exam.

Literature regarding peer tutors will be reviewed. Notes may be made regarding institutional tutor organization management to help combat this issue, however, it will likely focus on professor-tutor communication to mitigate this issue as the target audience for these materials are professors. Findings will be reported as best practices.

Recommendations for institutional organizations may be considered at a later data as an extension of this project.

Similar issue #15 raises similar concerns: some arc tutors may do well in class but may not be able to explain the material well. there should be stricter application guidelines and potentially even a test of knowledge.

These concerns will be addressed with this issue.
