Welcome French students!

Many adjunct students comment that one hour in the group meeting is not enough time to cover all the the materials and questions. Here is a place for you to extend the group conversation by posting questions, answers, and comments for your group members and your tutor. Some students may want to use this board to plan extra group meeting or arrange a time to review for a test.

1)I would like to know how should a tutor react when there is a question that he/ she has no answer for it?

2)What is the good way to encourage the student do their labs en time, and not feel that the work for the skills class just add more things to take care of in their busy schedule?

3) Would it be ok for a tutor to provide more help for the students beside the skills class.

Bonjour Ouafae,

1) Of course it always depends on the context. If the question is related to your responsibilities as a tutor. You will have more likely to warn the tutie you do not have the answer to this particular question and will get back to him or her during the next session. We are not supposed to know everything. It would be nice though if we would. Do not forgt to get back to them with the answer.
If you have someone you can ask for the answer next to you, feel free to ask. All of us (including you) at the tutorial center are dedicated people and will be pleased to help as much as they can.

2) The good way to encourage students to do their labs on time, is to tell them that they can get these extra credit points but also to remind them that this little INVESTMENT is not only for this class and this quarter but it will help them with all other courses in the future. Give them some personal stories on how it helped you. For me, for instance, I found out that the Note-Taking workshop was not at all effiecent for the History class I was taking because of the way it was organized. However, I used this skills for my Film class last quarter and my Geology class this quarter. The TextBook reading Workshop made me aware that the stategy to read a textbook is not always the same from one book to the other or one subject to the other and now I use my books more efficiently.

3) Be more specific. I am going to answer that a tutor is not only a helper in the discipline he or she teaches but also he or she is at the best place to find out what the needs of students are and make some choices from the particular situation in a particular context. I f you see that a student needs other skills, you should inform him or her about it and address him or her to the right person or office to help him. Always ask someone at the tutorial center to help you with this if you need some help in a particular case. BUT keep also in mind that you are also not a tutor to solve all the problems of the world. It is up to you and your good sense to do what has to be done.

Francis and Ouafae--

I know it is a little confusing, but there are TWO discussion boards, one for tutors and one for French students in the group. This is for the students in the group. Could you please repost your questions and reply on the Tutor Discussion Board, http://faculty.deanza.edu/alvesdelimadiana/stories/storyReader$17

Thanks!

Diana
