Course-Specific Workshops
ARC organizes course-specific workshops for a variety of gateway courses. Workshops are facilitated by trained peer tutors who meet weekly with the course instructor. No sign-up is necessary. Approximately 25% of all Muhlenberg students participate in workshops each semester. Some courses boast nearly 100% participation. It is not uncommon for students to both attend a workshop and work individually or in a small group with a peer tutor. The more frequently students attend workshop, the more likely they are to achieve success in the course.
Workshops offer students with opportunities to:
- Clarify, reinforce, and deepen understanding of course material
- Develop the habits of mind that enable their long-term success
- Engage in dialogue around course content with their peers
- Apply critical course concepts to supplemental problem sets
- Hone course-specific study strategies
- Prepare for exams
Most of our course-specific workshops begin during the second week of classes. Students can review our fall 2025 workshop roster (coming soon!) for more information. This roster is continually updated as new workshops are added.
