In most cases, before a company publishes any information, be it online or in print, a content reviewer ensures that the material is accurate, high-quality, free of errors, and appropriate for the intended audience. Such a process can seem rigorous and systemic but seeks to identify if the author demonstrates the strategies to comprehend the content and represents that well in the publication. For you as a college student, the process is little changed. 

In higher education, faculty examine aspects of the course to learn where students need to come prepared with certain skills and knowledge sets rather than learn the skills while taking the course.  In a content review, a professional tutor works with you individually to assure you that you understand and can demonstrate, the skills required for the course. Content review can be done with your homework (or presentations). The professional tutor will work with you and help you identify that your work meets the criteria of the assignment, or helps you to develop your work to meet the instruction requirements.

Students are encouraged to use the content review to work together with the support of trained tutors. Tutors conducting the reviews can provide general support for questions during their availability. If additional support is needed, tutors can also assist students in locating a one-to-one or small group tutor session for a later date. 

BGSU Firelands values non-traditional students. BGSU defines nontraditional students (NT) as undergraduate students who are over the age of 23, or students who are parents, or students who may identify as NT because of other factors that typically do not befall traditional students. The Teaching and Learning Center is here to support and advocate for you. Our campus has resources that you can access. Please reach out if you want to connect with us. 

First-generation students continue to be an asset to BGSU Firelands. BGSU defines first-generation students as undergraduate students whose parents have never earned a Bachelor’s Degree. BGSU strongly supports first-generation students throughout their first year of college.  First Gen students can find support through tailored classes, events, and meetings to gauge the success of their endeavors. The Teaching and Learning Center serves as a centralized hub for first-generation students to hang out, get help with homework, receive guidance on resources and services, socialization, refreshments, and more. Students who meet the first-generation classification should consider the TLC their home away from home. Please reach out if you want to connect with us.
