- Math/CS Support Center
The Math/CS Support Center (MCS), run by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, offers a variety of types of assistance to students during day and evening hours in Fall, Spring, and Summer sessions. Complete schedules are published at the start of each semester and are available from the MCS (F636) and on the Web at www.mcs.suffolk.edu. You can also call the MCS (617) 573-8763 for further information. The MCS is the only organization on campus that employs tutors who have been trained and certified by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
Math Help sessions offer one-to-one and small group assistance in course content for all freshman level mathematics courses. This is a good place to ask questions about daily homework and lectures before questions become problems. Students may drop in as often as needed at any time during scheduled sessions. There are more than 50 hours of scheduled help each week divided between day and evening hours. Sessions are led by caring adjunct faculty and upper-class students and run from the first week of classes through final exams. Students need not be in severe difficulty to attend. When the Math/CS Support Center is open, students are welcome to use it as a friendly place in which to do their math homework.
Programming Help sessions offer drop-in tutorial help for students taking introductory computer science courses (through CMPSC 132). There are more than 20 day and evening hours of scheduled help sessions led by caring upper-class and graduate students and run from the first week of classes through final exam week.
Mathshop is a non-credit, full-semester workshop designed for students who need substantial review before starting Math 104, 106 or 121. Similar to a course, Mathshop meets three hours per week, throughout the semester. It systematically covers fundamentals such as: arithmetic with signed numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, basic algebra, and solving equations. Study skills and strategies for dealing with math anxieties are also discussed.
