Tutoring Resources

If you find that you are having difficulty with any aspect of the course, please seek assisstance right away. There are various resources that can help.

If you are having trouble with a homework problem, please send e-mail through the online homework system to an instructor. Try to provide as much information as possible in your help request. For example, you should at least describe how you attempted the problem and at least guess where you might be going wrong. DO NOT EXPECT to receive e-mail help right away if you wait until the evening of the due date of the homework assignment.

Services in The Mathskeller and The Study The Mathskeller is located in CB 063 in the basement of the classroom building. Many instructors from the Department of Mathematics will hold office hours in the Mathskeller. In addition, limited drop-in tutoring is available. The Mathskeller is open from 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday (except academic holidays) during the semester. Additional information is available at http://www.math.uky.edu/~mathskeller/.

The Peer Tutoring Program offers FREE drop-in tutoring for many University of Kentucky (UK) core courses. Offering proactive assistance, the goal of the Peer Tutoring Program is to enhance students' academic experience as early and as often as possible. The Peer Tutoring Program provides a welcoming and friendly atmosphere for students to drop in, as they wish, to seek help on homework or exam prep, or simply to study within a group environment. Peer Tutors in The Study and The Study North are nationally certified, well-trained undergraduate students who have successfully completed the course for which they tutor at UK. This makes them a great resource for questions about a professor or course format in addition to questions pertaining to the subject.

Peer tutoring is offered in two locations: The Study, on the third floor of the Complex Commons building in the Blanding-Kirwan Complex on south campus, and The Study North, on the first floor of Champions Court I/Jewel Hall (residence hall across from the Student Center) on north campus.
