The lab is meant to be a walk-in facility with tutorial computer software and tutorial videotapes indexed to the department syllabi and open to all math students. It is staffed by one person who is knowledgeable in mathematics and can guide the learning process of the students using the tutorial materials, and by one worker who can select, locate, and set up the materials and help students with equipment operation problems. We can verify time, date, and materials checked out by your students if you wish to reward them in some way for using the Math Lab. We can answer the math questions that arise when students are working through the tutorial materials. Some students simply want a quiet place to work on their homework and we allow them to do this as long as we have the space.
Some students stop by to ask specific questions about their homework.
We are usually busy helping the students on the computers. Many of the faculty have their own forms they have created for specific Lab assignments. You do not need anything this elaborate - a simple form for verifying student attendance will suffice. Please remember that our materials are indexed according to chapter and section titles. Please refer to the exact section title in the book if you wish them to work on a specific subject area.
