Phone Policy

  • Phones must be turned off or set to silent mode
  • Exit before making or answering a phone call (conduct all cell phone conversations outside)
  • Patrons wishing to report bothersome phone use should contact any Math Lab staff member

Tutoring

  • The Math Lab tutoring is not a replacement for attending class or instructor consultation.
  • Tutors can assist with odd-numbered textbook problems and ordinary computerized homework but will not assist with problems that will be turned in for grading without specific instructor approval of such assistance. When there is any doubt, tutors will refer student questions to their respective instructors.

Environment

  • The Math Lab is a working lab so ongoing and active tutoring and discussion of MATH topics, procedures, and problems is expected.
  • Discussion of other topics should be kept quiet and brief to help maintain an atmosphere conducive to the study and learning of mathematics.
  • Overly energetic (loud) discussions of any sort should be taken outside of the Math Lab so as not to disturb others who are studying.
  • As a courtesy to others, please do not bring children to the Math Lab.

The Math Lab reserves the right to require disruptive individuals to leave the Math Lab.
