The Learning Center is here facilitate the success of students taking our introductory courses. We offer free drop-in learning support for students enrolled in STAT 240, 301, 324, and 371.

Stop in and take advantage of learning support provided by:

  • Discussing concepts from the text or lecture that need further clarification or explanation
  • Obtaining a deeper and more satisfying grasp of statistical concepts
  • Getting assistance in a small group or 1-on-1 tutoring

We look forward to assisting you!

Interested in learning with a small group of fellow students?

The GLC also offers small-group Practice Sessions for STAT 301, 324, and 371. These optional, non-credit sessions are a way to work through additional problems related to your course material, with experienced TAs and Peer Mentors on hand to guide you.

We’ll have more information on these soon!

What else is available?

No matter what Statistics course you are enrolled in, you are welcome to join an Accountability Group! These are groups of your fellow students across CDIS courses who find that having a study group to keep them honest is helpful. You are paired with students who have similar courses or interests, and meet weekly for 90 minutes of focused work time.

Sign up for an Accountability Group.

Interested in being a tutor?

The GLC is seeking tutors for STAT 301, 324, and 371. If you have taken one of these courses (or equivalent) and are excited about helping others master the material, then tutoring may be for you!
