written by Kristin Walker and Melissa H. Dancy

The Physics Resource Center (PRC) is a tutorial center offering supplemental instruction to all introductory level physics students. Physics students were surveyed to investigate and evaluate the center's effectiveness in meeting their needs. Survey results and suggestions offered by the students are reported. Findings include the dependence of PRC attendance on factors including gender, course performance, and social engagement.
