KU Wants You to Succeed In Chemistry!


Join the Diversity Student Mentoring Program (DSMP)

Are you committed to getting good grades in chemistry?

If so, you may want to join the Student Mentoring Program. This program provides FREE mentoring and tutoring for students.

Here's how it works --

  • Each student is assigned to a mentor. (These mentors are either grad students or upper-level undergrads.)
  • Students work with mentors to review homework problems and lecture notes on a regular basis.
  • Mentors will give students pre-exams to determine areas that need improvement, and then tutor students on those areas BEFORE each exam.
  • Mentors will track student perfomance in the class and help improve grades by giving students advice on study strategies, problem-solving skills, academic issues, career choices, etc.

It's FREE, but here's the catch -- every student is REQUIRED to study with his or her mentor for at least:

  • 2 Hours each week for students in General Chemistry
  • 4 Hours each week for students in Organic Chemistry

This program is designed to help students at all levels - everyone can benefit from extra instruction.

Don't get behind -- Join this program and begin studying with your mentor as soon as classes start!
