Reach out to them during office hours if you have questions regarding the subject matter or need help interpreting feedback they’ve provided on a test or exam.

A Writing Centre

Your Peers/Study Groups

Your peers and Recognized Study Groups are a valuable resource can help you unpack course information, ideas or theories and having someone (or a group of people) to bounce your ideas off of is often very helpful.
