Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering Support

The Student Learning Centre provides academic support in chemistry, physics, and engineering courses through workshops, drop-in study halls, peer support services, and one-on-one appointments with an academic specialist or peer tutor. 

 In 2020, students who achieved an A in CHEM 1010 attended chemistry support five times or more. The highest grade achieved for those that did not attend chemistry support was a B.

Book an appointment  

  • Individual 45-minute appointments with an Academic Specialist or Peer Tutor are offered both in-person and virtually, via Google Meet. 

  • Students should come prepared with specific questions and materials pertaining to the concepts they would like to review.

  • Booking limitations: Appointments must be booked a minimum of 24 hours in advance (a maximum of two weeks in advance). A student may book a maximum of one Academic Specialist appointment per day, up to a maximum of two per week and 12 per semester. The same limits exist for Peer Tutor appointments. Review our policies for more information.

  • Cancellations: Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the appointment. There is a three-strike policy for late cancellations and missed appointments. Review our policies document for more details.

Chemistry, physics and engineering workshops provide an interactive way to review difficult concepts through collaborative learning. Science and engineering workshops follow the same pace as course lectures. Space is limited, so it is best to register online. 

Appointment Booking Guidelines

Appointments should be made in advance, especially during peak times. Peak times are typically a few weeks prior and leading up to midterms and final exams. However, the Student Learning Centre offers drop-in study sessions through our study halls and writing room.

Please provide 24 hours’ notice to cancel an appointment. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice:

  • Will be counted as a no-show.
  • After three no-shows, a student may be barred from accessing the service for the remainder of the semester.
  • Will result in one session taken off the semester total (12 appointments per calendar each semester).

An academic specialist can help students in a variety of topics in chemistry, physics and engineering. This includes, but is not limited to: 

  • Chemistry 1 and 2 (CHEM 1010, 1020)
  • Chemistry for Engineers (CHEM 1800)
  • Electric Circuits and Electrical Engineering Fundamentals (ELEE 2790 and ELEE 2200)
  • Physics for Science and Engineering (Physics 1010, 1020, 1030 and 1040)
  • Physics portion of Essential Math for Games (INFR 1020, 1030)
  • Science for educators: (CURS 4100 and 4101, CURS 4180 and 4181, CURS 4301 and 4302)
  • Thermodynamics (MECE 2640, MECE 2320, MECE 3230, NULC 2010 and PHY 2050)
  • Upper-year Chemistry courses: Analytical Chemistry (CHEM 2030 and 2130), Organic Chemistry (CHEM 2020 and 2120)
  • Upper-year Energy Engineering courses: ENEE 2160, ENEE 2210, MECE 3260, ENEE 4161, ENEE 4163, ENEE 4260, MANE 4380, MECE 4450, and ENEE 4460.
