The Computer Sciences Learning Center (CSLC) offers FREE small-group tutoring for students in introductory computer science courses. Students can get help from our CSLC peer tutors, but are also welcome to use the space as an open and comfortable study environment.
Tutoring will start Tuesday February 11th and go through Thursday May 1st.
Please send any questions to Kristin Brown (kmbrown26@wisc.edu).
Drop-In Tutoring
Tutors will not work on debugging your program but will be able to spend time talking with you about course concepts. You can view the schedule of which courses are supported at which times here.
Hours:
- Monday-Thursday 2: 30 PM – 8:30 PM
The CSLC is located on The Shelf in the CS Building (if students enter by Union South, take the stairs to their right to a loft area in the lobby).
Request 1-on-1 CS Tutoring
New this semester, we are offering individual, scheduled learning support provided by students enrolled in CS502.
Submit a request here: https://forms.gle/a44SwuRJdBDaAMzW6
Details and guidelines:
- We may not be able to fulfill every request. We will respond within 2 business days (M-F) to each request and, if possible, connect you with a tutor to schedule.
- A default tutoring session will be 30 minutes. You will have the option to request multiple sessions or a longer session, if needed.
- The intention here is to provide extended, individual support for deeper learning– not debugging programming assignments.
- Referrals from instructors and advisors are welcome! The student should submit the form on their own behalf.
The CSLC is possible through the generous gift of Sheldon and Marianne Lubar. “Educating our students and citizens in [computer] science is a very high priority by any measure if our country is to maintain and grow our standard of living. Marianne and I are grateful we can help in this effort,” says Mr. Lubar. Thanks to the Lubars’ support, the CSLC has become a key educational pillar within the CS department. The CSLC provides exceptional support to students via tutoring and creates an opportunity for student tutors to give back to the department, an excellent example of the Wisconsin Idea in action.
