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.
