Hours of Operation:

Tutors are available during these hours to help with homework, review concepts, help with study skills, and answer questions about math courses.

The center also offers an individual tutoring program with regularly scheduled appointments for students with a peer tutor. This program offers more structure and consistency than drop-in tutoring. In addition to tutoring, the resource center maintains a library of textbooks and study guides for student reference.

Services

1.     Drop-in tutoring program

Peer tutors available during regular hours to help with homework, review concepts, and study skills, and to answer questions about math courses.

2.     Individual tutoring program

Regularly scheduled appointments for students with a peer tutor; offers more structure and consistency than drop-in tutoring.

3.     Library

A library of textbooks and study guides is maintained for students to refer to, as supplement to their regular textbook. Materials from this collection, or materials provided by an instructor, may be checked out by students.

4.     Study sessions

Organized on demand for special topics in regular courses or organized on a regular basis as a supplement to remedial courses. Tutors may be assigned to a particular course during drop-in hours. Some study sessions develop spontaneously during the semester for some courses.

5.     Placement testing

All incoming students are placement tested before enrolling in WCU math courses to assure proper skills backgrounds. Testing is coordinated by the Tutoring Center, and results are maintained by the department in student records.

Services of the Tutoring Center are advertised each semester by posted fliers, announcements by faculty in relevant courses, over the campus radio, and in the student newspaper.

Visits to appropriate classes (math classes and study skills courses) are made by the coordinator. Fliers are available to academic coordinators for Special Services and Athletics. Tutoring for math classes supervised by another agency (i.e. Special Services) is coordinated through the Mathematics Tutoring Center.
