What is the MLC?
The Math Learning Center, or MLC for short,
was created to help Cabrillo College math students develop the problem
solving skills so they have the confidence and ability to solve math problems
on their own.
Who can use the MLC?
The MLC is open to all Cabrillo College
math students. However, Math 4 through 7 students are encouraged to utilize
the services at the MSE/MESA Transfer Center.
What are the MLC services?
We offer free drop-in tutoring for all math
classes. Please note that waiting times may be longer for students in specialized
and advanced classes such as statistics and finite math. Students can also
check out a variety of math-related items such as textbooks, calculators,
computer software and a wide selection of learning manipulatives. For a
more detailed list, please see the Equipment & Other Aids link at the
bottom of this page. Periodic review sessions for upcoming math exams are
offered as well. We can also administer make-up math tests to students.
However, your instructor must make arrangements through us ahead of time÷we
cannot give you a make-up exam without prior approval from your instructor.
How do I use the MLC's services?
The first time you visit the MLC, we will
need to register you in our central database which is located in the middle
of the MLC next to the large row of bookcases. We will need your full name,
student identification number and which math classes you are taking. Once
you are registered, you will then be able to use the MLC's services by
logging into the central computer everytime you visit the MLC. It is very
important that you login and logout everytime you visit the MLC÷we keep
track of lab usage for funding and statistical purposes which aids us in
improving our services.
Who do I talk to if I have questions about
the MLC?
If you need to register in or database,
check out materials, or if you have questions about logging into and out
of our database, you can ask any of our many tutors for assistance. For
questions about exam review sessions, make-up tests, and all other topics,
please ask one of the MLC managers pictured below:
