Be Punctual

Tutoring appointments are often booked days, and sometimes even weeks, in advance. Walk-in/drop-in labs can be crowded and tutoring in certain subjects like A&P courses may be in high demand. For this reason, it’s best to see a tutor several days ahead of an assignment’s due date.

Come Prepared

Please bring your textbook, your assignment details, a calculator for math and any notes, drafts of essays for writing assignments, your professor’s instructions for writing assignments and specific questions for the tutor. It can also be helpful if you arrive with assignments previously evaluated by your instructor. The more work you have done and the better prepared you are, the more the tutor can assist you.

Tutors will prepare for your appointment by reviewing any materials or details you provided when scheduling. The tutor will begin each appointment by asking about your current assignment or learning goal and asking questions about the instructor’s evaluation criteria. Each student’s needs are different, so every tutoring appointment will focus on your individual needs. Tutors are here to help, so be open about what you need so we can start where you are and build from there.

Do as much work as you can in advance. This means you MUST at least attempt assignments before you come in seeking help.
Bring your class syllabus, class notes, class texts, and specific assignment instructions.
Arrive with specific questions.

What Happens in a Virtual Tutoring Appointment This video is specific to the Middlesex campus but information may be helpful to all students preparing for virtual tutoring appointments.

Take Responsibility

Tutors will assist you as much as they can but will not do the work for you. Their goal is to help students learn strategies to become life-long, independent learners. Whatever assistance the tutor provides, you are responsible for the quality of your own work and your professor ultimately determines your grade. Working with a tutor is an excellent choice but is no guarantee of achieving any particular grade or even passing the class.

2098 Art in Public Places

Posted in CT State.

CT State Gateway students embarked on an inspiring project to bring their creativity out of the studio and onto the street. Led by Instructors Peter Bonadies and Vladimir Shptalnik, students created two massive murals—measuring 4×32 ft and 9×20 ft—that adorn the plaza facade at 101 College St, New Haven. The designs beautifully depict the connection between science and art. The special projects class received support from 101 College Street, LLC who held space available for the murals, underwrote every student”s tuition, and the cost of materials.

On the 3rd floor studios overlooking the site, CT State Gateway students transformed their vision into stunningly colorful multi-media murals. Each artwork is meticulously crafted and reflects the skills and diverse perspectives of the CT State Gateway student body. Scientific equipment is integrated into the murals and provides a literal connection between art and science. The students hope the murals will inspire scientific creativity in 101 College Street researchers. Students had the opportunity to meet in person with the building’s developer Carter Winstanley, founder of Winstanley Enterprises. He shared his passion for public art and his excitement for the murals. Meeting Winstanley motivated the students and deepened their understanding of the impact art can have on urban spaces. For CT State Gateway, it’s about breaking barriers and inviting dialogue. The murals reaffirm the importance of art as a universal language that transcends boundaries.
