DCU Maths Learning Centre

Operational Policy

The aim of the Mathematics Learning Centre is to provide extra support on an informal basis in a welcoming environment. This service is open to all first-year undergraduate students whose course has a mathematics module.
The support is given through one-to-one help offered on a drop-in basis. The times and location are given on the Centre's homepage.
The Mathematics Learning Centre should be used as a supplement to lectures and tutorials and not as a substitute for these.
It is recommended that students who are having difficulties with their maths requirements attend the Centre regularly and as early in the academic year as possible.
As well as giving extra tuition to help develop students' mathematical skills, the Centre also tries to help students become independent autonomous learners with more confidence in their mathematical abilities and a better overall understanding of mathematics.
The Centre strives to maintain the quality of mathematics education in DCU.
Some of the tutors in the Centre deal only with specific modules. They will refer students undertaking other modules to another tutor present in the Centre.
If a student comes to the Centre with a mathematical question arising from either project work or a non-mathematics module, the Centre will endeavour to provide assistance. Such aid cannot be guaranteed in these cases.
