Course-Specific Support

Directed Homework Sessions

To get in the habit of doing your homework and to practice good learning strategies, come out to our weekly homework sessions, also referred to as "Math SI" (Supplemental Instruction). A senior student will act as facilitator to provide structure to each 1.5-hour session, incorporating cumulative review, study techniques and time to work on current homework problems. It's a great way to keep up to date on course work – no cramming the night before your midterm!

Mock Tests/Exams

Take a practice run at writing your upcoming math midterm or exam. Get valuable feedback on your work, to help perform better when it counts. You will be able to pick up your graded mock exams before your actual test.

In order to ensure we print a sufficient number of test papers, please indicate your intent to participate, by registering for the mock test session through our Student Success Portal - log in using your usual Laurier credentials, and then find the particular mock test session in the list of events.

No registration is required to attend the takeup/review sessions.

Please keep in mind: The mock tests have been created for students who want to simulate the test environment and challenge their studying to date. Students attending a mock exam session are expected to give it a serious attempt (i.e. no cheating!), stay for a minimum of one hour, and submit their papers for grading.

Since many students are not yet fully prepared when the mocks are scheduled, one 8.5" x 11" sheet of student-prepared study notes (both sides of page) will be allowed as a reference while completing the mock exams.

Note: All students in the course are welcome to attend the take-up/review session, regardless of whether they participated in writing the mock test or not.  However, students are strongly encouraged to attempt all the problems from the mock test before attending the take-up/review session!

A copy of each mock test will be posted in the Mathematics Assistance Centre's course on MyLearningSpace, after the mock test session has taken place.
