The UPL periodically holds tutorial sessions. There are many important practical topics that an undergraduate will never encounter if they do nothing but complete their class projects; the UPL tutorials serve to introduce undergraduates to these matters.

On this page we post the handouts of past tutorials. If you would like the UPL to hold one of these tutorials again or if you have an idea for a new tutorial that you think you and your friends would find useful, let us know.
