Physics & Astronomy
107 A-Stars Program
The A-Stars
program was started at the end of Autumn 2006 to provide
tutoring resources to Physics & Astronomy 107 students in
sections taught by Dr. Gerard Williger. A-Stars must have
earned an A in a previous section, and be available to tutor
current
students, either officially as a learning assistant or tutor
through the REACH
Center, as officially approved tutors by
the Dept. of Physics
& Astronomy for the course or on an
individual basis. These students are commended for their
scholarship and their willingness to help others. Please
see the
current Physics & Astronomy 107 website or Gerard Williger
for
contact information, available hours and further details
about tutoring resources.
