2. Why does NYIT have a Learning Center ?

All major universities in the U.S. have centers which provide various types of academic assistance to students.  It is in the best interest of both the university (including faculty) and its students.   

3. What kind of assistance does the NYIT LC offer?

1) Specific to a particular course or subject, and    

2) General learning/study skills. 

The LC can help with essay-writing and Power-Point presentations.

Any student who is currently enrolled in a class at NYiT-Amman can use the LC. 

5. How do students access this help?

There are two ways to take advantage of the LC:

2) Any faculty member can refer a student.

6. Where is the LC and when is it open?

Undergraduate Campus:
The LC is located in Room A203 on the Undergraduate Campus.  The LC is coordinated by Linda Khan with assistance from ismail kharufa (Admissions)

Graduate Campus
The LC is Located in the graduate campus library

7. Can students get help at other times?

Yes.  Tutoring is arranged by appointment and is not restricted to the posted LC hours.  In addition to the Center itself, we use empty classrooms, the Library, Computer Lab A, the cafeteria, etc.  Initial sign-up must; however, be done with Linda Khan during the posted LC hours.

 8. Can students just ask one of the tutors for help?

Students must first register with the LC prior to receiving any assistance.  This helps us track and assist our users.  It also allows us to match each student with an optimal tutor and/or plan.

  9. Can students sign up for help with exams?

Yes.  However, if a student is struggling with some of the course content PRIOR to exams, it is better to sign up then.  Exams are a crunch time for everyone, including the LC tutors (who are also students).  So if you wait until the last minute, there may not be an opening at the LC.
