Spring '12 Hours:
Monday - Thursday: 9am - 8pm
Friday: 9am - 4pm
Saturday: 11am - 6pm
Academic Excellence Workshops...are offered
to accompany selected math, physics and engineering courses each semester.
They are strongly based on group interactions to build communication
and community in the context of the technical subject matter. The
workshops each meet twice a week for two hours. They are not meant
to be drop-in sessions, although students whose schedules only allow
them to attend one of the workshops will not be turned away. Regular
participation in these workshops have been shown to increase student
performance a full grade in the course.
Here is the
schedule of workshops for Spring 2012 held in the MESA Lab, Room 714, unless otherwise shown. Workshops will begin the second week of classes.
