Tutoring
One way you can increase your understanding while taking a course is by attending tutoring or supplemental instruction sessions. East Carolina University and the Department of Biology offers support for many freshman and sophomore level courses. The Pirate Academic Success Center (PASC) offers both group and private tutoring opportunities. The Department of Biology offers group sessions for specific courses. Please visit the links below for more information.
Successful students take advantage of these additional learning tools early. Do not wait until you are struggling with the course work to get supplemental assistance.
For additional support or if you are needing support in a class not supported by these two services, please visit your professor or TA’s office hours (information will be listed in your syllabus) early and often.
