Spring 2008 Courses Covered (click for tutoring schedules):
*Last updated 5/12/08 |
Scholars Assisting Scholars (SAS) is a very focused [FREE] tutoring program that employs students who were trained on effective tutoring techniques, are paid to attend a specific section of a course, and are serving as a tutoring resource to everyone enrolled in that section of the course. This term tutors were hired to support eleven courses: MTH 150, MTH 220, MTH 221, MTH 222, CHM 210, CHM 230, CIS 200, CIS 209, CIS 300, PHYS 213, and PHYS 214. By paying the tutors to attend the lecture, they are better able to address student questions in a manner consistent with the way the course is being taught. SAS currently employs twenty-two tutors and serves eleven courses. In the third year of the grant when SAS is fully deployed, it will support 25 tutors serving 15 courses. SAS is designed to support student success and learning. While courses were selected to have maximum impact for science and engineering students, this service is available to students campus-wide who are taking these courses. Students do not need to sign up for tutoring prior to a session. They can just show up when the tutors are available to receive assistance with these courses.

Tutoring for all courses will be conducted in the Carter Learning Center on the second floor of the Rathbone/ Durland/ Fiedler Complex(directly above the Cafe Q coffee shop)*. Students should take the wooden staircase in the atrium up to the second floor, and the lounge area is located between the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department, and the Industrial & Manufacturing Systems Engineering Department.
The Carter Learning Center hours are found here.

Scholars Assisting Scholars (SAS) is one of six initiatives that is funded by K-State STEP.
K-State STEP is generously funded by the National Science Foundation’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Talent Expansion Program (NSF Grant #DUE-0525556). We will receive $1.66 million over the next five years to build six programs focused on the retention of STEM students. The poster addressing the SAS program that WESP presented at the STEP Grantees Meeting on March 22-23, 2007 can be accessed here.
