The tutors we have here also are very cooperative and assist students under any circumstances as long as they can help them. They have a great sense of humor so the class doesn’t get  boring in those long lectures and it is very easy to talk to them since they are very open minded people.

Technicians in labs are available for us, student to expose. We can consult them concerning our technical difficulties or sometimes face them for help in assigned work handed down by our course instructor.
