Suggestion 123. Refer students to the Student Learning Center

IF YOU WANT TO:

• Give personal help to students who are having difficulty

• Refer students for more help than you are able to give them

Recommending that students who need substantial assistance take advantage of the tutorial service of the Student Learning Center.

"I make extensive use of the Student Learning Center," a history professor notes. "I have referred many students there for help. Although I make quite specific comments on students' papers, the SLC people are much more experienced than I am at seeing the underlying problems that a student might be having and in giving much more extensive assistance. It's just not as easy for me to see the students' pattern of mistakes."

A professor of English also recommends the Student Learning Center highly. "Their tutors are really quite good," he says, "in fact, many of my better students have been tutors at the Center."
