The Learning Assistance and Resource Center, located in 105 Lawrence Center is more than just a tutoring center. Commonly referred to as the LARC, this comprehensive tutoring and academic assistance program offers benefits at all levels of academic accomplishment. Whether youʼre a diligent student frightened at the prospect of having to get yourself through Organic Chem II, or youʼre in need of some basic skills in time management and long term assignment planning, the LARC has an array of helpful and realistic methods to get you through the academic gauntlet. The LARC tutors are more than just students who passed the class which, in you, instills so much fear. The tutors are trained by faculty and other experienced tutors on the methods of good academic planning, as well as the best ways to communicate such methods to the students being tutored. If you go to the LARC, whether for academic help or to help someone academically, chances are youʼll find a great opportunity for personal advancement.
The primary function of the tutors, as indicated on the LARC Web site, is to "assist students in learning the concepts covered in the course." Tutors accomplish this through reviewing course materials and texts, as well as general methods of good notetaking, and time and stress management. Additionally, tutors at the LARC have at their disposal a range of sample questions and practice exams pertaining to any of the courses they tutor.
Through the combined efforts of student and tutor, the LARC enables a student to learn coursepertinent material while increasing their knowledge and use of general skills of task management.
The Web site offers a window into the study skills that tutors and students will employ when working with one another. Time management, note taking and exam preparation are emphasized; the Web site offers an overview of each of these categories and detailed information on each is available through links that are easy to navigate.
