Q&A:

---

Q1:  What is the difference between Drop-in Tutoring (option 1 above) and Tutoring by Appointment (option 2 above)?

A1: In the Drop-in Tutoring, you do not have to make an appointment. You can just show up. If there are too many students trying to seek help at the same time, you might have to wait. With the Tutoring by Appointment, you will have up to 30 minutes on a one-on-one session with a tutor at a specific time.

---

Q2: What is the difference between Tutoring (options 1 and 2 above) and Math Peer Study Groups (option 3 above)?

A2: In the Tutoring, you bring your own questions and ask the tutors to help you. In the Math Peer Study Groups, a peer leader will deliver a brief review of the topic of the day. Then you will work with other students on problems that will be given to you. There will be peer leaders facilitating the discussions.

Q3: Are there Math Peer Study Groups (option 3 above) for courses other than MAT 650/1275CO/1275?

A3: Unfortunatley, no. We are currently only offering Math Peer Study Groups for those courses.
