Your primary source of peer learning support and assistance for this course should be our embedded tutor, Emma White. We are fortunate to have Ms. Emma White as our embedded tutor. Emma took BIO114 last spring. Please attend her scheduled help sessions/virtual office hours, and ask her questions through our online platforms or e-mail (emwhite@davidson.edu). Emma’s office hours are listed on the first page. Her zoom room link is: https://davidson.zoom.us/j/6249694480.
In addition, beginning Thursday, August 27, the Math & Science Center (MSC) will have a small number of other peer tutors available by appointment only. Both the embedded and by-appointment tutors are trained and highly qualified peers that demonstrated deep understanding and succeeded in this course themselves. Please visit https://www.davidson.edu/offices-and-services/center-teaching-and-learning/student-resources/math-science-and-economics-center to schedule a tutoring appointment, which will be conducted over Zoom. For more information, contact Dr. Mark Barsoum, Director of the MSC (mabarsoum@davidson.edu or ext. 2796).
The Writing Center is also located near the Center for Teaching & Learning. Tutors can help you develop strategies for writing more effectively in every situation. Hours for the Writing Center can be found at https://www.davidson.edu/offices-and-services/center-teaching-and-learning/student-resources/writing-center.
