Homework help, test corrections, and moral support!
The OSL offers drop-in, online, and one-on-one tutoring for most undergraduate classes
and can help students find resources and get questions answered. We also offer student
success workshops and skills development sessions so that students can not only understand
the material covered in their classes, but will know how to help themselves in the
future.
By supporting students in this way we are also a resource for you. If you notice that
your students are struggling send them to the OSL, we're here to help.
Faculty Support Services
Test Review Sessions
The OSL will help instructors host test review sessions. Test review sessions are
opportunities to go over the test material one last time before the big day.
The OSL will provide you with space and two learning coaches for each review session.
Instructors must be present for the first hour in the two-hour session to answer student
questions, but then the students can stick around with the learning coaches to work
through the review.
For more information email the OSL at osl@nmt.edu.
Test Corrections
What are test corrections?
Test corrections encourage students to form great study habits, attend tutoring sessions,
and revisit material that they struggled with during the test.
If you would like to participate in test corrections, follow the procedures below
or email the OSL at osl@nmt.edu for more information.
OSL Test Correction Procedures
These procedures are for all faculty/instructors who wish to offer test corrections
through the OSL. We also recommend that you review the procedures for students and
tutors (linked below) to gain a full understanding of the process.
Test Corrections procedures for students can be found here.
Test Correction procedures for tutors can be found here.
Procedure:
NOTE: Test Corrections should be requested after the test is taken, but BEFORE the
corrections are assigned (2-3 day lead time).
Test Corrections are offered from 3 PM - Close. Test Corrections completed outside these hours are allowed based on tutor availability.
For all exams, Learning Coaches will check each correction, indicating that it has
been done correctly by initialing the corrected answer on the coversheet and initially
the top-righthand corner of the correction sheet.
After all corrections have been made, the tutor will write their name and the date
at the bottom of the coversheet.
If tutors think that an exam key answer may be incorrect, they are instructed to have at
least one other tutor do the problem independently, and then contact the instructor
with a polite email asking how to solve the problem.
If there are any errors or you find any problems with corrections, please contact
the OSL and we will do our best to resolve any issues as quickly as possible.
The OSL can also provide tutoring schedules for specific classes and organize study
sessions for exams. Please let us know what we can do to help your students succeed!
