MATHSHOP

Some students who come to Suffolk are, for various reasons, not prepared to take their first college math course. Sometimes this is revealed by the Math Placement Exam. Students whose placement scores indicate serious deficiencies in math skills or who are extremely apprehensive about taking their first math course should consider taking MATHSHOP.

MATHSHOP is a one-semester workshop intended to help students develop the basic skills needed to build confidence prior to taking a college math course. It is taught by carefully supervised upper division math students and has a track record of getting students past some of the obstacles that have prevented them from dealing successfully with college math.
