I've heard a lot of people specifically say they're going to be tutored, and I don't see a big deal with it. I see no offense in the term.
Brad Bowns, freshman 1
It's just a name change, and I don't see what the big deal is. I don't feel any different about wanting to find someone to help me in my studies.
Dave Schumacher, freshman 1
The name change doesn't make any difference to me. Though It has no affect on the intimidation scale.
Michael Martin, freshman 1
The term tutor seems kind of extreme anyway, and 'peer assistant' doesn't seem so drastic. I would personally feel less intimidated to approach 'assistance' rather than a full blown tutor.
Lance Weber, freshman 1
The terms are interchangeable. Peer assistance has no affect on intimidation. You still have to go to the same person for help, and changing the name doesn't change anything else.
