Extra Help & Tips for Success

Math is not for spectators :-) Like sports and music, math works better when you practice frequently.

To be successful in a college class, students should expect to spend 3 hours/week for every unit of credit. Since Mat 251 is a 4-unit class, successful students will spend 12 hours per week studying Statistics. It is best if you have a planned time set aside, spread out over the week. Don’t wait until the day before the test – get help early and often. You are not alone! Here are several options for getting help:
- General Question and Answer Discussion board
- NetTutor Available in Canvas 24/7 (Under the navigation menu on the left)
- Office Hours:
  - Monday and Wednesday 3-4pm
- Tutoring:
  1. One on one tutoring
  2. Study groups:
    - Use the Pronto chat to set up group study sessions! Or meet in the STEM Center! There is always math faculty avaliable.
  3. NetTutor
    - This is an online service available 24 hours a day.
