Online Tutoring (M110, M123, M118, M125, M126, T101)
Using our online tutoring service, students can submit questions 24/7 (excluding holidays). Questions will be answered within 24-48 hours or sooner if possible.
Math Hotline
Students who need assistance while working on math problems at home are invited to call the math hotline (765-973-8432 or 1-800-959-3278, extension 432) any time during scheduled Math Lab hours.
Practice Quizzes and Exams
Practice quizzes and exams are available to help students prepare for actual course work. The tutor and the student can then review the problems so the student can see where and why mistakes were made. Try some practice quizzes and exams.
Videos
Students can watch instructional videos in the Math Lab or check them out for up to one week. The videos explain key concepts and show how to work problems.
Computer-Assisted Math Programs
Computer-assisted math programs help students learn a new concept or review a familiar one. Math tutors explain how to use the software in a few minutes, and then students are ready to explore the step-by-step tutorials on their own.
Worksheets and Texts
The Math Lab contains dozens of handouts and worksheets indexed according to textbook sections. Many handouts give step-by-step instructions for solving a particular type of problem as well as examples and practice problems. Students are welcome to review a handout with a math tutor and then take the handout home for future reference. In addition, the Math Lab contains many alternative texts for student use.
Workshops and Review Sessions
During the semester, math tutors conduct various workshops covering topics such as word problems and factoring. Tutors also conduct review sessions prior to exams. Students can bring their practice exams to the session and review problems with their classmates.
