     “Feedback is also important in 
     
     learning intellectual skills. For 
     
     example, learning how to program 
     
     covsputer or do proofs in plane 
     
     « -vetry is said to progress three 
     
     ux jour times as fast with a private 
     
     tvtor as in a conventional class- 
     
     p2om because the tutor can pro- 
     
     vide immediate feedback and cor- 
     
     rection whenever the. learner 
     
     segins a wrong line of reasoning, 
     
     thus shortcutting the novice’s 
     
     wasted efforts.” Bootzen, R.R.,

     introduction, N.Y. Random

     Two senior psychology students 
     
     have applied for a government 
     
     grant to tutor students during the 
     
     summer and Professor Sharkey is 
     
     coordinating their work. The aim 
     
     is to apply information from 
     
     problem solving, thinking; and 
     
     cognition in pshychology to real 
     
     academic problems of students. 
     
    

    
     The students need not be taking 
     
     courses but they should be avail- 
     
     able for one, two, or more tutor- 
     
     ing sessions per week at the Uni- 
     
     versity or in Summerside. The 
     
     areas could be English, Math, 
     
     Psychology, Statistics, Experi-

     mental Psychology, French, 
     
     possibly computers or some other 
     
     area where principles of problem 
     
     solving and good study techniques 
     
     apply. It would be ideal to find 
     
     students who were very interested 
     
     in improving their academic 
     
     ability.and were willing to work at 
     
     it several times a week for a month 
     
     to three or four months. However 
     
     help would be given as the student 
     
     sees fit. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Depending on the case, it mizh: 
     
     be a good idea to bring in sam>ies 
     
     of work, tests, or assisgnments 
     
     and even a transcript und discuss 
     
     results and strategies for improve- 
     
     ment. A vocabulary or simple pro- 
     
     blem solving test might help. 
     
     Handouts on techniques of study, 
     
     organization of study time, and 
     
     on psychological principles in- 
     
     volved in efficient study might be 
     
     useful. Information given on the 
     
     tutoring form would help.
