Tutorials
Tutorials are structured to meet the needs of students that need a small group setting for re-teaching of content or to retake an assessment that they might not have successfully passed.
Tutorials are not a time to do homework or assignments that students might have chosen not to do in class. Late or missing assignments should be completed at home.
