Faculty Away Day enables faculty to miss class without having to cancel altogether. Faculty members can request a tutoring staff member to come to the classroom during the regular class period, and conduct one of our student success workshops. Some examples include, Time Management, Effective Study Strategies, Writing Skills, or subject-specific review sessions.
Workshop requests should be made ideally at least 2 weeks in advance and are based on staff availability. For more information or to schedule, please contact us.
Faculty Feedback
"I used Absent Instructor Day with four of my classes, and it was a wonderful help. The students benefitted greatly not only because they didn't miss a class, but also because they were able to review the material from a different perspective. One of my students, for example, mentioned how a concept that she was struggling with when I explained it became very clear to her when the tutor answered her questions. I strongly believe that this is a service that offers great advantages to both students and instructors." -Anonymous Survey Response
