Course-Specific Workshops
ARC organizes course-specific workshops for a variety of gateway courses. Workshops are facilitated by trained peer tutors who meet weekly with the course instructor. No sign-up is necessary. Approximately 25% of all Muhlenberg students participate in workshops each semester. Some courses boast nearly 100% participation. It is not uncommon for students to both attend a workshop and work individually or in a small group with a peer tutor. The more frequently students attend workshop, the more likely they are to achieve success in the course.
Workshops offer students with opportunities to:
- Clarify, reinforce, and deepen understanding of course material
- Develop the habits of mind that enable their long-term success
- Engage in dialogue around course content with their peers
- Apply critical course concepts to supplemental problem sets
- Hone course-specific study strategies
- Prepare for exams
Most of our course-specific workshops begin during the second week of classes. Students can review our fall 2024 workshop roster for more information. This roster is continually updated as new workshops are added.
