Agenda:

In general, how are things going?
Is your semester getting hectic or calming down at this point?
Food for thought: What are you going through academically that might benefit your tutee? Are you learning to deal with having too much to do? Are you dealing with a challenging professor? What experiences could you share to enhance their experiences? Remember you are where they want to be. How can they get there?
Time Management
- How well do you plan?
- Time Tips
- Create a schedule
- What experiences and tools can you share with us? With your tutees?
