Tutoring, Online Homework Lab, & Calculus Workshop

In addition to instructor office hours, there are a variety of ways in which students can get assistance with their homework/studying in the lower division Math or MthStat courses (courses numbered 299 and below).

The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers tutoring for MthStat 215. This tutoring is staffed by graduate teaching assistants who are studying statistics and/or actuarial science!

Location: Physics Building, Room 328

The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers an open computer lab for students enrolled in any course using an online learning system (ALEKS, WileyPlus, MyMathlab, ConnectMath, etc.) to work on assignments.  There is always a mathematics graduate teaching assistant on hand to offer assistance and/or answer any questions you may have.

Fall 2018 Hours:

Monday-Thursday: 8:00 am – 8:00 pm
Friday: 8:00 am – 3:00 pm

Closing Date: The Calculus workshop will be open during finals week, so students can work there, but tutoring hours may be unpredictable as tutors are students too so have different schedules during finals week!

Note: Computers are not provided in the Calc workshop. Students seeking assistance with Online homework who need computer access are advised to instead go to the Online Homework lab (described above).

The Mathematical Science Department hires Calc Workshop tutors for Fall and Spring semesters. Tutors must be undergraduates, have completed the Calculus series up to and including 234 (or 240 & 320) with a B or better, and have at least a 3.0 GPA.

Tutoring Position Description

To apply, contact Jane Miles in the Mathematical Sciences Department office EMS E403.

Panther Access to Student Services (PASS) provides supplemental academic services for many subject areas including math. Tutoring is located in the Golda Meir Library, East Wing, on the 1st floor.  Students may go there to sign up for weekly tutoring sessions.

Starting Spring 2017: PASS handles all tutoring for Math courses numbered 211 or lower, with the exception of Math 115, 116, and 117. The Math Sci Department no longer offers walk-in tutoring in the library for Math courses. See our tutoring options for MthStat 215 (in library), Math 115, 116, & 117 (online HW lab & calc workshop), and 231—234 & 240 (calc workshop) described above.
