Sooner or later, every student needs to meet with a tutor, a professor, their research supervisor or other member of academic staff. Perhaps you've got questions about your lecture content?

To effectively prepare for your 1st meeting:
1 - Make contact and introduce yourself

7 - Make minutes of the meeting
8 - Confirm minutes with attendees
