The course outline will follow the items listed below. Pay attention to deadlines!
Print and complete the application found here. Bring it to Mr. Beens (rm. 3-109) when it is complete. Look for a white basket near the front of the room to hand it into.
Start by sending me an email so I get your correct email address. This will be the primary way I contact you about assignments and to send you mark updates. My email address is pbeens@gmail.com.
Please put "GPP3O1" (that's an "O", like in "Oh", not a zero) in the subject of all emails to me so they don't end up in my spam filter!
In this email, tell me what your general interests and career goals are, and why you want to be placed in the classroom where you will be peer tutoring. This doesn't have to be an essay!
Read the course overview. Contact me if you have any questions.
For each week, you will be required to fill in a log sheet, with details for each day. The log sheet can be downloaded from here. If you need to, you are welcome to come into my room (3-109) to print them.
Note that all log sheets are due by noon the following Monday. Late marks will be deducted beyond that. My recommendation is to hand them in at the end of your peer tutoring class every Friday. I would also recommend that you get in the habit of filling them in at the end of class every day.
Log sheets will be marked for completeness, legibility, grammar/spelling, accuracy, and being handed in on-time. Note that you are to use complete sentences for your log sheets, not point form!
