What they are

Where

Professor or GSI office hours

Every Professor and GSI will hold office hours where students can come and ask questions.  This is a great way to get to build relationships with your instructors.

Locations and times should be on your syllabus or will be announced on the first day of class

Science  Learning Center (SLC)

Offers approx. 20 alcoves that are staffed by GSIs for Chem 130, Orgo, and Bio 162.  You can just go and ask questions or listen to others ask questions.  Just  check the schedules by the alcoves to see when a GSI from your course will be there.  This is also the place where you can sign up for chem, bio, or physics study groups that meet based on your availability and are facilitated by an upper-level undergrad.
