How To Get Help


You can always come by my office, call, or send me an e-mail anytime you need help. My office is 2326, and the phone number is 546-3100 ext. 2789. Beyond my regular office hours, if the door is open then I am available to help you.

Here are some other resources that are available to you when you need help.

Math Lab - The Math Lab is located in Room 2601. This is a good place to go with specific questions such as homework problems, worksheets, or when you are reviewing a previous quiz or exam. Many students like to do their homework in the Math Lab so that they can ask questions as soon as they run into difficulty. Faculty or advanced math students are available to help you. For hours and more information, see the Math Lab web page.

Tutorial Center - The Tutorial Center provides free individual and small group tutoring. Students receive one hour per week per subject. Tutors are trained to help students develop long-term learning strategies that facilitate independent learning. This is a good place to go when you need to ask more general questions about the concepts or ideas that are being covered in class. Tutoring appointments are scheduled by contacting the Tutorial Center in the Academic Support Center, Room 3300. You will need to complete an Application to Receive Tutoring form. For more information, see the Tutorial Center web page.

Library - The Library keeps a collection of video CDs/DVDs that accompany the text book for many mathematics courses. Typically the videos involve a professional or instructor who works through examples similar to those found in the text. You can watch the videos in the Library, or check them out overnight and watch them at home. The videos are a good way to catch up on any material you may have missed by being absent from class.

Publisher Resources - Some publishers offer tutorial help services online, by phone, or by e-mail to students using their textbooks. Check the front of your textbook under student supplements to see if some kind of help service is offered, or check the publisher's web site for information about available resources. I usually provide links to textbook web sites on the Links page for each course I teach.
