CHEM 467 (Section 10) / BISC 422 (Section 10)
TUTORIAL METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
Tentative Schedule - Spring 2001 
Syllabus

Time & Place: The first class, a three-hour orientation session before classes start, will be held on Monday, February 5th from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. in 108 Pearson Hall. This is an especially important session and all tutor-facilitators should be present. Thereafter, we will meet most Wednesdays from 4:45 to 6:00 PM in the same place. The Tutorial Methods  of Instruction course will meet more often in the first half of the semester, and less often as the semester progresses and you become more familiar with effective tutor-facilitator strategies. In order to gain practical experience, you will serve as a tutor-facilitator in one of the problem-based learning (PBL) courses on campus, and meet on a regular basis with the instructor of that course for more specific content preparation. The tentative schedule for the semester is as follows:
