What are Question & Answer Sessions?
Question & Answer Sessions (Q&A's) are scheduled sessions for tutors of popular subjects to review material with a group of students currently enrolled in that course. Q&A's are not tutorials and students should come prepared to have their, and other's, questions answered and not to receive individual help. Q&A's generally occur during the days preceding a quiz/exam but a group of students could request one to be scheduled if they all plan to attend. Please use our Request an Appointment interface if you wish to request a Q&A session.
