DeFeo, Dayna Jean; Bonin, Dan; Ossiander-Gobeille, Megan – Journal of Developmental Education, 2017
Drop-in peer tutoring is the most popular model on college campuses, but a high student-tutor ratio suggests that students will spend the majority of their lab time working without the aid of a tutor. This study observed students in a drop-in tutoring center serving developmental math students and explored what they do in that independent time.…
