\noindent
The LRC is a part of the First Year of Studies. Among the many services
provided
to first year students, it offers the Tutoring Program, the Collaborative
Learning
Program, and a series of Math Workshops. The purpose of these
programs is to assist the students with their proficiency in Mathematics.
\medskip
\noindent
{\bf Tutoring Program:}\quad 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 courses. Tutoring sessions for small groups of
students
are offered in
{\it Math 104, 105, 107, 108, 112, 119, 120, 126}. These sessions
meet once
weekly for two hours and will begin Wednesday, January 26, 2000.
\medskip
\noindent
{\bf Collaborative Learning Program:}\quad 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
once weekly in the main room of the LRC, beginning Wednesday, January 26,
2000 with the
following schedule:

{\it
\halign{\hskip .5 in # \hfil & # \hfil & # \hfil & # \hfil & # \hfil & #

{\bf Workshops:} Workshops are help sessions which do $\underline{not}$
require regular
attendance. Each session is held every week, beginning January 26, 2000
