Expectations

• Sign in when you arrive at the lab and sign out when you leave
• Peer Experts are available to assist students in the lab, but homework problems must still be completed individually
• Peer Experts are helping many students and will be unable to offer one-on-one assistance for extended periods of time
• Come to the lab early and often; if the lab is crowded, we cannot guarantee we'll be able to help you
• The Learning Lab is not a substitute for attending class
• If you need help outside of normal lab hours, email psychlearninglab@osu.edu to check Peer Expert availability
