What are Weekly Learning Roundtables?

Weekly Learning Roundtables provide students with the opportunity to study regularly with dedicated peers enrolled in the same course as they work together to master course content.

During Weekly Learning Roundtable meetings, students work together with each other to answer questions and clarify course concepts. A facilitating subject tutor is present at all Weekly Learning Roundtable meetings to help assist working groups as needed. Through studying collaboratively, students improve their own understanding of course material while helping their peers do the same in a supportive environment.

How do I sign up for a Roundtable?

Weekly Learning Roundtables open for sign-ups 7 days in advance of the present date. Each weekly group is limited to 10 students, and sign-up is on a first-come basis.

To reserve your spot, elect “Schedule an Appointment” to log into our online scheduler. Select the “Tutoring Group Schedule” for the current semester, then look for “[Course Number] Roundtable w/ [tutor]” within the next 7 days.

Group Appointment Limits

As per our Appointment Policies, group appointments can be scheduled via our online scheduler (WCOnline) up to 7 days in advance with a limit of one appointment per day and two hours of group appointment time per week in fall (three per week in spring).

These limits are independent of the number of individual tutoring appointments a student can schedule, and we encourage students to consider using both. That’s why Tutoring Services maintains separate WCOnline schedules for 1-on-1 and Group Study appointments, and students can easily switch between the one-on-one and group schedules from within our system.

Group Session Cancellation Policy

Note that our Cancellation Policy for Group Sessions is more strict than for individual tutoring sessions, requiring that group cancellations be made at least four hours before the start of the session. Failure to cancel group appointments at least 4 hours in advance is subject to our Missed Appointment Policy.
