Programs for Mathematics Courses
Fall 2007
The LRC is a part of the First Year of Studies. Among the many services provided to the first year students, it offers the Tutoring Program, the Collaborative Learning Program, and a series of Mathematics Help Sessions. The purpose of these programs is to assist the students with their proficiency in Mathematics.
Tutoring Program:
Tutoring is available to students whose
success in a first year course requires assistance beyond that which can be
given by the teacher or staff of the course.
Tutoring sessions for small groups of students are offered in
Collaborative Learning Program: Small groups of students (4-6) are grouped by course and section, and work on mathematics homework. In the process of talking with each other and sharing their ideas about the work, they learn more Mathematics and understand it better. Sometimes groups share their ideas with other groups that are working on the same problems. In this way, all the students gain valuable ideas from others. Facilitators, upper class students who have successfully completed the course, are available to encourage problem solving and collaboration among group members, and to help when no one in the group can answer a question. Each group meets beginning Sunday, September 9, 2007 with the following schedule:
