I hope the beginning of the semester if off to a good start! I want to make you aware of our free academic services in science, math and engineering courses –particularly GIRs– that we offer through our program Talented Scholars Resource Room aka TSR^2<https://ome.mit.edu/programs-services/talented-scholars-resource-room-tsr2>. Please feel free to share this information with your students as well and let me know if you have any questions, concerns or feedback. We appreciate all of your hard work to support students!

Best,
Lilen

EXAM REVIEWS<https://ome.mit.edu/programs-services/exam-reviews> – Drop-in review sessions for GIR midterms (1hr long) and finals (2hrs long). Typically happen 1-2 days before the exam itself and are advertised via email to those with OME accounts<https://ome.mit.edu/programs-services/tsr-scheduling-system-account-request#overlay-context=programs-services/tsr-scheduling-system-account-request> and also on our TSR^2 calendar<https://ome.mit.edu/programs-services/tsr2-calendar>.

Mostly for GIRs but other classes might be available. To request to be placed in a group please submit this form<https://ome.mit.edu/programs-services/tsr2-facilitated-study-group-request-form>. Groups are formed based on quorum (min. 3 students) and facilitator availability.
