Category: Academic Support

You may feel like the semester just started, but there is no better time to start using academic support resources for your courses! Supplemental Instruction (SI) is available for Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Quantitative Reasoning for Business, Statistics for Business, and many non-business courses. The Math Lab and Statistics Lab are also great resources for all MATH and STAT courses. And of course do not forget about our Tippie resources like the Frank Business Communication Center and Accounting TA Help Labs!

The Frank Business Communication Center opens on January 24! Located on the third floor in the BizHub, Frank Center peer consultants can help you with communication and writing assignments for any Tippie class. We can provide feedback at any stage of the assignment, from brainstorming and drafting to revising and polishing. We help with resumes, personal statements, and interview prep too!

Using resources from LinkedIn Learning, take a look back and reflect on 2021 and as you set your learning goals for 2022, use some of their most popular courses of 2021 for some inspiration. All of this and more can be found HERE.

The Frank Communication Center is open through December 10! Remember, if you’re a direct admit or a declared business major, you can take papers from any course, Tippie or not, to our tutors. Also remember we don’t just tutor for writing – we’re here to help you practice for those presentations and clean up your slide design.
