I use the term Tutor, to acknowledge the employees, volunteers and faculty who work in the MSC. I use the term student to refer to anyone learning in the MSC. In practice, the MSC provides a place where people help one another in any way they can. Everyone is a learning. Everyone has knowledge and skills which can be useful to someone else. Anyone is welcome to contribute from their knowledge, skills, and life experience to help someone else more happily engage with STE(A)M or simply have a better day. | ||||||||

We've always invited people to just drop in, but years ago encouraged appointments on a sign-up sheet outside the door of the MSC. People could identify themselves however they chose. What we found was that people potentially looking for help would check the sheet, and if the appointment roster was full, they would not come by, or were too shy to even come in the door at a time they were happening by. The inevitable no-shows, or merely expedient answering of questions, or encouragement of a student to work independently for a while resulted in people not coming in, despite availability of staff. |

The MSC has long made every effort to respect people's time and attention. If we can point someone in a useful direction in a minute, we do so and they can be on their way. Attention in the MSC can then shift elsewhere. If someone wants to hang out in the MSC for the "vibe" or to easily inquire when an issue arises, they are welcome to do so. Tutors encourage students to work together. Students learn a lot by explaining their understanding to someone else. Tutors return to the group when discussion seems to stall; becomes unproductive; becomes problematic; or if asked for assistance. | ||||||||

The domain has proven handy indeed. | |||||||
