SLC Chemistry 1A Services: Fall 2009
The Student Learning Center offers three types of support for students in Chem 1A:
Study Groups for Chem 1A
Study Groups meet 2 hours a day, twice each week. In groups, a study group leader coaches the group by reviewing course material, answering questions, working examples to illustrate course concepts, providing worksheets for students to work on together, and helping students develop effective study strategies.
If you want to
join a Chem 1A group or switch groups:
* If you want to join a study group or switch groups:
Email Richard Gibson at rgibson@berkeley.edu with "Chem 1A Waitlist " in the subject header. In the email, give your name and SID, indicate if you are already in a group or not, and rank the groups that you want to join.
* We will email you as soon as we can place you in a group.
* DO NOT just attend a group you were not placed in. Some groups are filled to capacity.
* If you miss both study groups in a week, you may be dropped from the group, and someone else will be added in your place unless you email rgibson@berkeley.edu to explain that you want to remain in the group. So, it is very important to make sure you sign the attendance sheet each day.

| Location: |
Science Drop-in Tutoring Area on the 2nd floor of the Chávez Student Center. |
The SLC provides Drop-in tutoring for all students in Chem 1A. Students can come in and talk to a tutor on a first-come, first served basis. The tutors work with students individually or sometimes in small groups, and can answer questions about lectures, course texts, homework problems, sample exams and labs.
No prior signing up is required for Drop-in tutoring. Just come by! Drop-in tutoring is a great way to meet and work with fellow students as well as to get assistance with your course work.
Mock Exams for Chem 1A
Mock Exams occur the weekend before each midterm or final in the course and are typically three hours long. At a Mock Exam, students will be given a practice exam written by the SLC and about an hour to work on it like it was a real exam. Then, tutors will go over the Mock Exam with an emphasis on providing tips on how to approach the real midterm or final.
Mock Exams are designed to assist students in self-assessing their comprehension of the course material and problem solving skills. Answers to Mock Exams are not printed or posted.
The SLC Mock Exam for Chem 1A's Midterm #3 will be Sunday, November 8 from 10am-1pm in 155 Dwinelle.
