QUESTION...

There have been more and more students booking appointments for the same day (none of which state that they have a blue card,) they are not back to back but an hour or so apart from eachother. Most of the time they are working on the same assignment during both appointments also.
I've asked a couple people if they are allowed to do this, and I've gotten various responses. So I just wanted to know once and for all, if they can book two appointments in the same day?

I personally do not think that students should be able to do this, because it takes away from another student's chance for help.

Can I please get a final answer on this.

First post of 2008!

WOO HOO!!!!

2-4 in the Writing Center

The library seems to be slow this semseter. Probably b/c no one knows where it is or doesn't want to take the time to find out. An idea was suggested, from a fellow peer, that we be open from 2-4 pm in the Writing Center instead of the library this semester or in future semesters. Here's why.

1) Because people already know where the Writing Center is.
2) Several students have come here to the WC and we've referred them to the Library site. They never make it to the Library site. Perhaps b/c they don't want to look for it because it is hard to find. Or don't want to walk across the campus to get there. As a result, the peer coaches spend 3 hours in that room doing nothing.
3) Lack of peer coaches in the Library site.
4) Library room it too small and easily overcrowded. Therefore, students don't get the privacy they deserve when in the Library site.
