Group Review

The University Learning Center hosts various course-specific group sessions and Study Slams that were developed at the suggestion and recommendation of our Learning Assistants, based on their own experience with these courses, as well as at the suggestion of students utlizing the resources at the ULC.  We welcome your suggestions on future workshops and group sessions to develop, or past workshops you'd like to see offered again!  Email us here!

Freshman Honors Seminars

The Expository Writing Program and the University Learning Center have partnered up to offer additional support to help students with the writing demands of their Freshman Honors Seminars.  Each workshop is led by Freshman Honors Seminar faculty from the Expository Writing Program, and supported by a Global Academic Fellow and a ULC Learning Assistant who will be present to work with students one-on-one.  Students should bring any writing assignments they've already done for their Seminar.

Principles of Biology

Sign-up weekly for Bio Bits and Bio PTs to help you stay on top of the material, then attend a Study Slam (no rsvp required) for a fast-paced review of important points to remember for your exam!

Bio Bits

These are topic-specific mini-review sessions held weekly throughout the semester.  After each module, a Learning Assistant will cover some of the more complicated points in further depth during these sessions.  Click here for the schedule of topics, and sign up weekly for any topic you'd like to review!

Please note that Bio Bits will not be held during the week of spring break. 

Bio PTs

In these sessions, ULC Learning Assistants guide you through multiple choice questions designed to help you engage in the material and test your understanding.  Different from Bio Bits, the focus here is not to provide a straightforward review of material covered in lecture, but rather to give you practice in testing or applying your knowledge and understanding of the principles you are learning each week.  Click here each week to sign up for a session!

Please note that Bio PTs will not be held the week of spring break, but WILL be held the week of February 18 (Presidents' Day), including that Monday.

Organic Chemistry

Sign up weekly to attend group Peer Tutoring sessions!
