Procedures When Students Come to the Math Center

Upon entering make sure to log in on the computer at the front desk.
Follow the signs to the area where the consultants for your course are available but if you are unsure of where to go please ask a consultant.
If you have a hard time identifying the consultants, they are the ones wearing a name tag.
Raise your hand when you are ready for assistance.
Upon leaving the Math Center, please remember to log out of the computer at the front desk.

MAKE YOUR MATH CENTER VISIT A SUCCESSFUL ONE

Have questions ready.
Be proactive asking questions.
The tutoring session is about building on your understanding and is not a place to get answers to any specific problem.
Do not expect the tutors to develop a lecture over the material.
Get acquainted with the consultants. Find one or more consultants that you work well with.
Talk and work with other students in the Math Center that have similar questions.
Be consistent throughout the semester visiting the Math Center.
Don't wait until exam weeks to come in to the Math Center. There will be
more opportunities for individual attention in the non-exam weeks.
Check the Math Center schedule for special review sessions that may be available for your course.
