How does the Math Resource Center work?

Drop-in in-person: Students can bring in their homework assignments or questions and have a seat at a table. When they have a question, they can approach the desk and we will help. If we are busy, students may be limited to one to five questions or up to 15 minutes. We then encourage them to go try the problems on their own and come back when they need more help. Students rotate.

Drop-in Zoom: Students can click the Zoom link above, and they will jump into a waiting room. If there are many students waiting, a message will show in chat. One student is let into the Zoom room at a time. They can share their homework with the tutor, or they can write using a whiteboard. Each student gets one to five questions or up to 15 minutes. Students are then placed back into the waiting room and encouraged to try a few problems. Students are rotated.

How do I prepare for a tutoring session?

Students should bring in their homework and assignments and be ready to get help. If their questions are online, they can bring in their laptop or use the computers in the area. If they are unsure where to start, we can walk them through a problem and show them the steps. On the next problem, we would do less and have them do more but ask questions while they are doing the problem. We try to avoid making assumptions and may refresh information that they need to solve the problem. They are the owner of their knowledge. That means they need to do the problem to understand the process. We are here to help them learn and learn how to learn.

Where do I rent a graphing calculator?

Graphing calculators can be rented through the Bookstore located in ES 88. Prior to obtaining the calculator, students will need to pay a $20 semester rental fee and fill out a rental contract available at the Bookstore.

Can you help me prepare for the math placement test?

Practice test questions are available online through Testing Center, or a hard copy can be obtained by visiting them in ES 108. The MRC staff can help students go through these problems and suggest other options for review. Students do not pass or fail the assessment test. It provides information on what class they should start with to be successful. We can assist them in reviewing for the test or offer test taking suggestions.

Can you recommend websites to help with math?

Yes, the internet is full of resources. Faculty and your peers have recommended the websites below:
