Abstract: The results of an evaluation of the Provost's Tutorial Fellowship Program (PTFP), the Tutorial Clinics and an interpersonal communications skills workshop are presented along with recommendations for change. The PTFP met its three objectives: Over 90 percent of the tutees who received a letter grade passed the course (objective 1). A formal system for gathering noncognitive data on tutees was instituted (objective 2). Tutors received positive ratings from tutees (objective 3). The Clinics also met their objectives by being able to meet requests for assistance from more than 10 percent of the enrollment in lower division chemistry, mathematics, and physics courses. (Author)
