Learning Resources
Whether you want to make sure you really understand a
concept before your next big test, are tired of getting exams or essays back
covered in red marks, or just want confirmation that you understand specific
subject matter, academic tutors are here to help. They are friendly students
and professors who love seeing the “Ah-Ha!” look of understanding on students’
faces when they grasp a concept that had been evading them. Now imagine an
entire platoon of tutors available at your disposal. Like an academic army for
your brain, this is the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) .
The CAE is where good students go to get better. Based in the
Information Technology Center Room 103, the CAE helps jack your grades to the
start of the alphabet. Available free of charge, the CAE provides extra help
for all subjects including writing, math, science, business, education classes
and many others. Because everybody learns differently, each lab is equipped
with expert tutors, who explain difficult concepts in unique and creative ways
you will understand. Tutors are trained in learning strategies, study methods,
social interaction, strategies for students with disabilities, and specific
content area skills such as math methods and correctly citing sources to avoid
plagiarism. Student tutors have been hand-picked because of their course
aptitude and teaching ability, and each has experienced classes at BVU, making
them conscious to what you’re going through.
Isn’t it time you feel that “Ah-Ha!” moment yourself?
