Individual Tutoring and Additional Help:

The Quantitative Reasoning Program works with the faculty responsible for various quantitative courses. In many cases, a Learning Assistant is assigned to the course. The Learning Assistant leads weekly study group sessions and exam review sessions. The Learning Assistant provides studying strategies and may occasionally do some individual tutoring. For some courses, workshop sessions on quantitative techniques are available preceding their use in the class. Drop-in tutoring is available for various courses, and a schedule of courses, tutors and support is published by the third week of each semester. Students may also make specific requests for assistance directly to the Quantitative Reasoning Program Director, Eric Gaze*. The responses to such requests will depend upon the particular circumstances, but could include the formation of a new study group, the addition of a workshop and/or the assignment of an individual tutor.
