The following topics were discussed this meeting;

So Far;

-We ordered pizza.

should be on track by this week, and the first four weeks should be out by the end of this
week. Start uploading regularly and on time.

Events coming up;

-First Samosa sale is next Wednesday. It will be in Leacock. Should sell out by 2
30. One dollar for each samosa. Everyone be there. SIGN UP IF YOU HAVEN’T
ALREADY.
-Bake sale for the 31st of October: hopefully we will get that date.
-Dian will decide on a Pie toss date.

Other;

-Jordan’s suggestion:
- Peer tutoring. Basically a weekly peer review conference. BIOL 200 a and b and
for 215. Conferences organized by students. Conferences will have structure and
students will go through notes and quizzes. Informal. Like a study group. In
response to Lasko’s peer tutoring request. What about 112? Could be done the
same way. Help focus in on what the group doesn’t understand and then bring that
forward to the TA.
Jordan will type up a semi formal proposal for Lasko. Kevin will see if people
will get payed.

- Kaplan MCAT review session: Door prizes. Yes we’ll do it.
