TUTORIAL

A separate form of classes is the tutorial (in Polish or in English) which is obligatory for all TEU students. This form of classes is delivered in small, maximum 12-student groups, with the chosen tutor. A tutor should help her/his students with didactic and social problems and also give an opinion on individual academic matters, connected with the course of students’ education (at the request of a student or the Dean). Classes in the form of tutorials are generally aimed at preparing students for independent study. Tutors teach students the skills of reading original documents and texts, independent thinking, and composing written texts. Moreover, a tutorial provides for direct contact between a student and a professor, which gives the professor an opportunity to recognise a student’s potential and her/his shortcomings and to focus on detailed academic issues, connected with disciplines explored by students.
