• Talk and work with other students in the center who have similar questions.

• Don't wait until exam weeks to come in. There will be more opportunities for individual attention during non-exam weeks.
• Check the center web page for special review sessions for your course.
• Make sure you have reviewed your notes and tried the problem ahead of time. 
• Have questions ready. Be proactive asking questions.

Review Sessions

Review sessions are regularly scheduled, informal sessions in which students compare notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools, and become better prepared for exams. Students learn how to integrate course content and study skills while working together. The sessions are facilitated by a Math Learning Center Tutor, offered at no additional cost, and open to anyone who is enrolled in the course.
