Will my teachers know I use the Q Center?
When you come in the Q Center staff will only ask your name and a few details for internal Q Center time keeping purposes. This information will not be shared with your instructors.
What is the best way to utilize the Q Center?
- Don’t wait until the last minute to get help. If you have an upcoming quiz, exam, or something due, it is best to give yourself a lot of time to ask questions and work on the material ahead of that quiz/exam/homework/project due date
- Go to class. The Q Center is meant to be a supplemental resource for your course, not a substitute.
- Review the material and try problems on your own beforehand. We are here and happy to help, but ultimately it is up to you to be an active participant in your learning. Watching someone go through steps to solve the problem is not the same as working through the problem on your own.
- Keep studying/practicing/trying! This means continuing to review the material, practicing problems on your own, and coming back if you get stuck.
