Despite the complexities in academics brought on by online classes as a result of this pandemic, the CPU College of Computer Studies continues to make initiatives to help reduce the baggage of their fellow CCS students on their online class journey.

Just recently, the CPU Computer Science Society introduced their “CCS: Tutorial Clinic”, an online tutorial that aims to help students improve their understanding of programming subjects such as Fundamentals of Programming, Intermediate Programming, and Data Structures and Algorithms.

According to Jpitz Angelo Par, CPU Computer Science Society President, when asked about how the program was conceptualized, “We wanted to assist our fellow students considering the various paces of learning, we wanted to assist those who may want to refresh their memory regarding a certain subject, and so forth, so we decided to create a program or an initiative that may help them get through their academic difficulties.”

Day 1 of the Tutorial Clinic conducted by CCS students.

This tutorial is believed to have started on March 18, 2022, and is targeted to end a week before the final exams of the second sub-term. It is happening via Zoom, which is hosted by key professors that are assigned to each subject that they want to discuss.

“It’s rewarding to assist someone in need, knowing that you also share the same sentiments with your batch mates and you’re like, making plans on how to address their concerns is really self-fulfilling,” Par responded when asked how it felt to be able to establish the Tutorial Clinic.

Right now, the official page of the CPU Computer Science Society has issued a statement stating that the tutorials will be temporarily halted but that they will resume on the third week of classes.
