Resources on Campus:

• The Academic Advancement Center's Math Center has drop-in help, tutors, online help, and a telephone hotline.
• Supplemental Instruction (SI) provides free, out-of-class study sessions for Math 163A led by an Ohio University undergraduate student who has already taken the course. Used throughout the U.S. and the world, the SI program has proven highly successful in increasing student achievement and retention. Check with the SI Web page for more information and the schedule.
