Scheduling an Online Tutoring Session
For the 2020 Summer Semesters, the MAC will be offering online tutoring by appointment. If you would like to set up recurring sessions please contact us at MAC@ysu.edu and we’ll set them up for you. Over the summer we are supporting math courses from MATH1500 (Math for Placement) through MATH3705 (Differential Equations) and we are supporting all of the statistics courses offered by the department of Mathematics and Statistics.
General Information
To enroll in each live session you will need a smartphone, tablet, or to access to a web browser from a laptop or desktop computer.
BEFORE YOU SCHEDULE
-
We recommend you have questions when you arrive. That may be specific questions about homework problems you’ve gotten stuck on or don’t even know where to start, or you can also ask conceptual questions about general topics.
-
Tutors will not check all of your homework problems, assist you with quizzes or tests, or teach you the course. Not only is that academic misconduct but it doesn't help you learn!
-
To help you succeed, we will ask questions to get you to think about solving problems in different ways, provide hints, and help you come to realizations independently. Ultimately we want you to be doing as much of the mathematics as possible so you can succeed on your quizzes and exams.
-
We also recommend you have a method of sharing pictures, either by uploading pictures or by holding your paper in front of your video camera as typing mathematics can be difficult. Being able to communicate via audio is also extremely beneficial. However, if typing in the text box or calling in is your online option, we still welcome you!
