Mathematics Department Instructional Methods

Mathematics courses are generally taught in a lecture/discussion classroom format.  Class notes are expected, as well as written homework and the use of an appropriate calculator.

Additional help is available in several forms as follows: 

1.      Your instructor will be more than willing to give special help over problem areas.  Please do not hesitate to ask for assistance.  His/her office hours are posted outside his/her office in Oconee Hall.

2.      The Learning Lab (Room OC-300) is staffed with a lab instructor/tutor trained in mathematics who will be glad to help you with whatever problems you encounter.  Also in that lab are printed and computer materials available for your help.

3.      You may apply for one-on-one tutoring through the “Educational Services” counselor in the Counseling Center located in the Student Center. 

4.      Videotapes for some of our mathematics courses are available in the Learning Lab and the College Library.  See your instructor for details.
