The Calculus Lab is a free tutoring center for GW students who need additional help in their calculus courses. The goal of the lab is to improve the overall academic performance of calculus students at GW. The Calculus Lab is operated by the Department of Mathematics and staffed by tutors who are graduate students in math.
Before visiting the Calculus Lab, please seek help from your professor or teaching assistant first by going to their office hours. They are your best resource for getting assistance with your specific course and can offer more individualized attention. If you still need help after seeing them (or are unable to meet with them), then come to the lab.
There are several resources available for extra help with mathematics and statistics courses in addition to your instructor's office hours. Help Sessions are free. No appointment is necessary. Bring your textbook and any other needed materials.
Help Sessions for students in STAT 111 and STAT 141 will run according to the following schedule for the Spring semester from Tuesday, January 24 through Thursday, May 4 (except during UVM holidays and recesses).
Tutoring services cover course-specific material in interactive group sessions for many undergraduate core courses, with an emphasis on first-year and second-year classes in the schools of science and engineering.
Drop-in tutoring provides opportunities for undergraduates to review class material with graduate and undergraduate tutors proficient in the course topics. The goal is to help students become independent learners by having tutors guide them through solving practice problems while demonstrating strategies for exploring a topic. Their role is not to provide answers, but rather to help students understand questions and identify methods for solving them.
During the fall, spring, and summer semesters Drop-in tutoring sessions are offered for selected courses in the schools of science and engineering. During the summer semesters some courses may be scheduled on an Individual/Small Group basis.
Students take the Initial Knowledge Check (IKC) of 25 questions that takes 60-90 minutes to complete. After the IKC, the students can view their strengths and weaknesses and begin to refresh their knowledge on forgotten topics, including trigonometry, linear functions, Vectors, Algebraic expressions, etc.
To complete the program and be better prepared for the fall semester, we will ask a selected number of participants to be involved in SIX-week math preparatory learning modules from end of June through August. What you need to know:
The program will be active for 6 weeks, and for the best practice, you can expect 4-5 hours of commitment per week. We strongly encourage you to practice and complete tasks weekly to successfully complete the program.
You will have 6 weeks of access to your Prep and Learning module. Access to the prep course will not begin until you select start on the top of your screen. DO NOT select into the Prep and Learning Module until you are ready to start working.
Do I need to install any software or plug-ins prior to taking the ALEKS Placement Assessment? No. There are no required plug-ins or applets required with your use of ALEKS. As long as you have access to the internet and are using an updated browser, you should not experience difficulties in accessing ALEKS. For a list of preferred browsers, please review the ALEKS system requirements on their support site: _requirements
What are ALEKS Knowledge Checks? While working in a Prep and Learning Module, you will periodically complete a Knowledge Check to make sure you have mastered the topics you gained in Learning Mode. If you do not show mastery during the Knowledge Check, the topics will be added back into your Learning Pie so you can review them again.
What do I do if my web browser gets stuck or my computer crashes while I'm working in ALEKS? Simply close the browser, or log out and log back in. ALEKS will resume exactly where you left off, with no loss of your previous answers.
The Learning Assistant (LA) is a Rensselaer student who is responsible for assisting first-year students in becoming active, independent and successful learners. LA's are assigned to a specific residence hall where they reside and assume responsibility for interacting frequently with the residents of that hall and providing academic-related programs, information and assistance. The LA provides a direct academic support service and acts as a liaison between Advising and Learning Assistance Center and their undergraduates.
For Spring 2021, ACE Learning Studio's tutoring appointments will be online only. You will need a computer or laptop with audio, mic, and a reliable internet connection. Video may be necessary as well, depending on your needs. Appointments for course-based and study skills tutoring can still be made on Campus Connect as usual at:
Close-->What we offer:Peer tutoring is a process that supports student learning by strengthening a wide variety of educational skills. Working with a tutor can help you make the most of your study time. ACE offers several different types of tutoring to best serve the students of FSU. Please click on the the image below to learn more about our one-on-one peer tutoring, drop-in math tutoring, and group tutoring services.
Tutoring appointments for several math courses can be scheduled online by selecting the Campus Connect icon in my.fsu.edu. Students can receive help with College Algebra, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Calculus for Business, and Calculus I-III.
Study skills tutors offer students assistance in a variety of areas, including strengthening your time management skills, note taking tips, how to properly email your professors and/or teaching assistants, as well as tone your study habits.
The Mathematics Resource Center (MaRC) in O'Shaughnessy Science Center 235 supports student learning in mathematics through free drop-in peer tutoring as a service of the University of St. Thomas Mathematics Department for any ACTC student taking MATH 005 through 200. The MaRC is also headquarters for Math Placement Exam preparation, questions and administration.
Student solution manuals for all supported mathematics courses are available for use with the deposit of a St. Thomas student ID card. Group study areas, wireless connectivity and extra learning sessions are other features of the MaRC. You may need to take the math placement exam to assess your math skills before you register for a math course at St. Thomas.
Individual appointments are scheduled on OASIS Scheduler and meet on Zoom.
Drop-in tutoring is held in-person and no appointment is necessary. You will be seated at tables with other students in your class with tutors rotating around the space to answer questions. Drop-in tutoring takes place in the lower level of Shields Library beginning April 7 for spring 2024.
Workshops, Co-Classes and Content Reviews meet weekly to go over the content from lecture and give an opportunity to practice and ask questions. Content Reviews are led by experienced undergraduate students and Workshops, Preparatory, and Co-Classes are taught by professional staff Specialists.
