What support is available to students in quantitative courses?
The Quantitative Skills Program works with the faculty responsible for various quantitative courses (Q-Courses). In many cases, a Q-skills tutor is assigned to the Q-course. The tutor leads weekly study group sessions and exam review sessions. S/He also provides studying strategies and may occasionally do some individual tutoring. For some Q-courses, workshop sessions on quantitative techniques are available preceding their use in the class. A schedule of courses, tutors and support is published by the third week of each semester. Students may also make specific requests for assistance directly to the Quantitative Skills Program Director. The responses to such requests will depend upon the particular circumstances, but could include the formation of a new study group, the addition of a workshop and/or the assignment of an individual tutor.
