I would let him know that I can help him within the scope of our session, and encourage him to reach out to his professor so that they can make a plan how to proceed.]]> 2023-06-22 20:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630389723 Katie https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630389859 Explain that I personally am happy to help with a few questions, however the entire problem set is not within my scope. We can go over additional resources like office hours and read the questions, thinking about overarching themes of questions and making sure that he has an understanding of those key concepts before heading off to office hours]]> 2023-06-22 20:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630389859 When tutoring, I clearly explain that I cannot help students with work that is due. I usually ask if they have reviewed something similar in the section handout from a few days before, and offer to walk them through how I would approach this different question.

Then I would advise them in a tactful way (without coming across as overly judgmental) that it's important to get started with psets earlier.]]> 2023-06-22 20:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630389979 Yedith https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630390086 Tell him that I know it is a very difficult time for him. However, also emphasize that you are not able to do everything he wants you to do, but will try to help as much as you can.

I would validate how difficult the material is and try to direct her to other resources and emphasize that, even if a professor perfectly matches a student's learning style, students will always utilize these outside/extra resources so that she doesn't feel behind other students. ]]> 2023-06-22 20:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630391947 Jeremy https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630391970 Listen and validate Madeline's stress but be careful not to respond or chime in during her tirade about the professor. Maybe redirect the conversation to discussing certain problems she is struggling with.]]> 2023-06-22 20:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630391970 Maybe acknowledging that sometimes the course content may be challenging, but there are many support resources that can help, such as other teaching staff and tutoring, that can help with understanding the material.

One way to approach this is to empathize with her frustration, and ask open ended questions about what methods he uses that frustrate her and possible solutions]]> 2023-06-22 20:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630392208 Validate her feelings but try to remind her that she’s doing everything she should be doing given the situation https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630392300 2023-06-22 20:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630392300 Yedith https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630392366 I would tell her that I understand where her frustration is coming from and then direct the conversation to the concepts she is having difficulty with. Maybe explicitly say it if the student seems like they are still on the same topic. ]]> 2023-06-22 20:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/annlee8/x1oiiouxlblo84wo/wish/2630392366
