There will be tutorials available for math and science each week and you are required to check in to at least one. Each tutorial runs all morning or afternoon - you are not required to stay the entire time, just to ask questions or get a lesson on a certain concept. You could come ask a question, log out and return if you had another question... We will take ATTENDANCE, so make sure you come to at least one. You will need to use your @educbe.ca account to join the tutorials and remember to turn off your mic, when you're not talking.
