For example, Intermediate Algebra may be taken as a self paced class, a computer based class, a traditional lecture style class, or as a supplemental instruction class. The Lab is open to all mathematics students, but is primarily for college preparatory students. An orientation of the Lab is presented to each college preparatory class at the beginning of each term and records of attendance are maintained for each college preparatory student. Other students may pay a fee in order to use the Lab. The Lab Supervisor, Janet Hartnett, provides books and supplements that match the adopted textbooks for the courses.
Tutors move from student to student in an open style atmosphere.
Each major term, instructors provide final exam review sessions for some of the courses. These instructors volunteer for and donate their time to this project. The faculty has developed review sheets for the sessions that are made available to all students during the week following the review sessions. Students may pick these up in the Math Lab. The Department tries to adopt new technology as it becomes available and is deemed a tool for the enhancement of learning.
