WELCOME
TO THE ONLINE TUTORING CENTER!
Fall
Tutoring
Begins September 8, 2008
Stuck on a problem? Can't figure out why your program
won't compile? Having difficulty understanding your homework assignment
or laboratory exercise? Need help to improve your grade? And, the
tutoring centers are closed or you are a distance learning
student!!!
You
can get assistance with these problems and more through CCAC's online
tutoring. Online tutoring involves tutors and members of the faculty
who choose to conduct some of their office hours over the Internet.
This service, which is free to all registered CCAC students, uses
search engines for frequently asked questions (FAQs), chat rooms,
conferencing, and message boards.
CCAC's
tutors have been chosen for demonstrated excellence in their academic
area and for their commitment to student success. Here, you will
receive professional, courteous, step-by-step assistance.
Of
course, an instructor is an excellent resource for help with your
class. All instructors who have online office hours are more than
happy to answer questions.
