Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need an appointment?
No. Stop by during tutoring hours in any of our locations.
There is no tutoring at the Q Center during Summer. Tutoring will start again the second week of Fall Semester.
- Which courses do you help with?
In principle, we offer support with all of the fundamental Q courses in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry,
and Statistics. We can also help if your problem with a certain topic is related to
this like e.g. algebra, calculus, normal distributions or mechanics. For a more
precise answer look at list of supported Q courses.
- Does the Q Center offer one-on-one tutoring?
We cannot guarantee that you will receive one-on-one tutoring. We
always have several tutors and supervising TAs on duty when the Q Center
is open. The volume of students who come in for help will determine if
tutoring happens in a small group or if you can work with a tutor individually.
- I really need one-on-one tutoring, and can't always get it
at the Q Center. Are there any other options?
You may want to check out the list of private tutors that we
maintain as a service (without recommendations).
- Do you have exam review sessions?
We schedule exam reviews during the semester in conjunction with the course coordinators and
on an as needed bases. There are always exam review prior to final exams for the major lower level
Math courses and Stats 100 and 110.
- I haven't been to class in a while...
Can someone review a chapter or two that I missed?
Q Center tutoring is meant to support in-class learning and instruction. We do not have the staff
or resources to teach material that you missed because you were not in class.
- Will my instructor know I was here?
We keep non-specific attendance records for our and University records. Information
about attendees is never shared.
- Do you keep previous exams from Q courses on file?
No. It didn't work well from several standpoints. Many instructors
will give their own practice exams, and we can help you with problems
from those practice exams or your text.
- Is it possible to do my homework in the Q Center if I don't
need help (or don't need much help)?
The Q Center is a great place to do your homework and if you do have a question,
you can get it answered right away by the staff.
- What should I bring to the Q Center for tutoring?
Students should bring their text books, class notes, and calculators. Tutors may need to refer to
texts and notes since so many courses are serviced by our staff.
- Do I need to make an appointment with the tutors?
Tutoring is on a drop-in basis; no appointments necessary. However, you are welcome to call the
Q Center at 486-1961 and make an appointment.
You can also check out our
tutoring schedule.
- I study with friends and we sometimes get stuck.
How could the Q Center help us all?
The whole group is welcome to come in together, do problems and get any questions answered by the staff.
- I am interested in participating in a study group.
How can I find one?
If you let one of the staff know, we can contact the instructor and pass a sign-up sheet around the class,
or talk to other students in the class who are already using the Q Center to help create the group.
