Juniors
and Seniors: Would you like to tutor students who are enrolled in Econ
2301, 2304 and 2305--that is, the 'principles' classes of your
department? If so, drop by the Undergraduate Center (room 208M) of the
Economics Department and pick up an application. For the Spring 2006
semester, Tutoring begins on February 1st and ends on April 28th.
Tutors
are scheduled for five hours a week staffing the Tutor Center (which is
also the undergraduate computer lab). Dr. Wilcox will ask you to provide
ten hours when you can work so that he can schedule everyone, and will
try to give you your most-preferred five hours if he can. If you are
tutoring for the first time in our program, you MUST also attend a one
hour tutor's meeting each week: Again, Dr. Wilcox will arrange a time
when all first-time tutors can meet each week.
There
are two different 'rewards' you can choose as a tutor (but not both in
the same semester). First, you may use a semester of tutoring as a
3-hour 3000-level economics elective class (like Labor, Public Finance,
International Econ, Game Theory, etc.) counting toward your degree in
Economics. If you do, you must pay for the course. Second, you may
choose to tutor for a stipend of $800 dollars for the semester, which
works out to about $10.25 per hour over the course of the semester.
