Learning Commons: Instructors

Instructors

The Learning Commons is here to assist instructors as well as students.  We offer in-class workshops on study skills, test preparation strategies, paper formatting, and much more!  Looking for consistent, reliable academic support for your course? Besides individual tutoring sessions for students, instructors can utilize our PASS, Embedded Tutoring, Volunteer Tutoring, and Tutoring for Credit services. Read below for more information on our services. Please direct any inquiries to Jenna Groendal at JGroendal@lccc.wy.edu.

Tutoring for Credit

Tutoring for Credit

Some instructors have found it useful to send their students to the Learning Commons for assistance with particular assignments, either as a requirement or for extra credit.  We welcome your class members and look forward to working with them.  If you would like to include an LC visit as part of one of your assignments, it would be a great help if you let us know in advance so we can ensure we have sufficient tutor coverage in your subject area.  Also, please keep in mind the following LC policies as you design your assignment:

  • LC sessions are a maximum of 45 minutes long and must last a minimum of 15 minutes to be considered an official visit.
  • Individual tutors are asked not to provide proof of the sessions directly. Instructors that require proof of students' attendance can access the session notes that are inputted in Navigate. The Director of the Learning Commons would be happy to help you access those notes.
  • Writing Consultants do not provide editing services, but will be happy to talk with your students about fundamentals and provide resources to help students become stronger writers.

PASS and Embedded Tutoring

PASS & Embedded Tutoring

Some classes are hard - why not provide extra support for students? Experience a supportive, exciting approach to learning: PASS offers the opportunity for your students to study the exact course material covered in class with experienced tutors and former students. PASS sessions are Peer Assisted Study Sessions that are scheduled outside of class time. Embedded Tutoring is a tutor attending classes and helping during class time.  If you are interested in setting up PASS or Embedded Tutoring support for your course, contact Jenna Groendal at JGroendal@lccc.wy.edu or email us at tutors@lccc.wy.edu.
