Or only when students submit a request? I guess my question is how "involved" are we in the class other than tutoring purposes. For example, are we suppose to be actively looking for students who are failing? https://padlet.com/danielhall9/pzkzj1wd2v329b8i/wish/1701305059 2021-08-27 18:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/danielhall9/pzkzj1wd2v329b8i/wish/1701305059 Do instructors absolutely have to meet with the tutors and coaches on a regular basis or at all? https://padlet.com/danielhall9/pzkzj1wd2v329b8i/wish/1701306038 2021-08-27 18:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/danielhall9/pzkzj1wd2v329b8i/wish/1701306038 https://padlet.com/danielhall9/pzkzj1wd2v329b8i/wish/1701306389 Are we going to be provided with calendar-scheduling software?

There's nothing in the form that asks students what type of help they are looking for so can this be added to the form? https://padlet.com/danielhall9/pzkzj1wd2v329b8i/wish/1701309851 2021-08-27 18:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/danielhall9/pzkzj1wd2v329b8i/wish/1701309851 What if I was just assigned a new course and would like to add a coach and tutor is that going to be a problem?
