DESCRIPTION OF THE MATH LAB TUTORIAL SERVICES |
|
The goal of our tutors is to not simply provide answers to homework problems, but to provide an understanding of concepts and problem-solving methods in their coursework. We also advise students to seek help as soon as difficulties develop, as success in “getting back on track” is made more likely. The schedule of tutors and their location (most often in the facilities of the Anne Hart Raymond Center) is posted at several locations on campus and can also be requested via e-mail to the supervisor of the service, Mr. Robert Day (ext. 6007, Room AHR 219), at rday@midway.edu . It staffed by both math instructors and students. Student tutors must have satisfactorily completed math courses though algebra, and must have completed or be currently enrolled in calculus. No appointments are necessary (this is a walk-in service) although the student may be able to establish an appointment separate from the schedule, depending on circumstances. Students are asked to bring their assignment (s) and textbook (s). Although calculators are available, we recommend the student bring their own calculator, as it is likely to be more familiar to them. We often show students how to make better use of their calculators as well. |

The following mathematics tutorials development as part of the project, Increasing Students Success: Addressing Prerequisite Mathematics Assumptions in Introductory Non-mathematics Courses, funded by The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education. (project #P116B60125)
Various introductory courses at six universities have been selected for this project. One goal is to provide self-instructional mathematics tutorials for individuals who may need review of certain topics. This self instructional approach will:
Currently the none interactive versions have been developed. While some
do not have a lot of graphics, the review materials 3, 4, and 5 are fairly
graphic intensive and may take a few minutes to load. Interactive versions
are currently being developed and will be added to this site at a later
date. |
