Need Help with Math?
|
|
Mathematics Assistance Center (the
MAC)
|
The Mathematics Assistance Center is a service provided by the Department of
Mathematical Sciences and University College at IUPUI and is available to
all students enrolled in an introductory mathematics course at IUPUI,
through MATH 262. Both walk-in-tutoring and mentoring sessions are available,
staffed by qualified student employees who have been thoroughly trained to
provide assistance.
|
|
Private Math Tutors
|
The Department of Mathematical Sciences, as an additional service to students,
provides a list of available individuals who have been screened solely on the
basis of their transcripts or educational credentials. The list may include
current IUPUI undergraduate math majors and math graduate students, retired
educators, and current instructors. Based on the mathematics courses they
have taken and the grades they have received, they appear to be qualified to
tutor in the courses listed. The list is updated periodically throughout the
semester.

Bepko Learning Center
|
The Bepko Learning Center offers free Academic Mentoring to aid students in
various courses. Information on free departmental tutoring and paid tutors
on a variety of courses are also available. Students eligible for free math
tutoring through VA/VR benefits should contact the Bepko Learning Center.

Adaptive Educational Services
(AES)
|
IUPUI is committed to providing equal educational opportunities for individuals
with disabilities. If you have an academic need related to a disability, please
contact AES. Don't wait until it's too late to get accommodations. As a student,
it is important that you complete the testing accommodations process with AES as
soon as the semester begins.

Further Suggestions
|
If you are having any difficulties, seek help immediately - do not wait
until it is too late to recover from falling behind or failing to understand a
concept. Ask your instructor either in class, during office hours, or during an
appointment. Email your instructor or use the OnCourse "email instructor" function.
Work with your classmates (this is always a good idea) and visit the MAC. It is
essential not to fall behind because each lecture is based on the previous material.
Good study habits are important for doing your best in any course. Here are a few
tips for success:
-
Always go to class and take good notes.
-
Read each section in the text before it is covered in class. This will help
you follow your instructor's lecture.
-
Do the homework the day of the lecture or the next day and don't procrastinate!
-
Do all of the homework thoroughly, write out all of the details, keep it
organized, and use it to help you study.
-
Review your old tests and look at solutions until you know what you did
wrong and understand the solution.
-
Make sure you figure out the approach to a problem, rather than simply memorizing
the solution.
-
Start studying for exams early and make sure to completely work out any sample
tests that you may be given. It is difficult to do well if you start studying
for an exam the night before.
The Math Department FAQ's can help address other
questions you may have regarding your math course.
