Welcome To

The Mary P. Dolciani Mathematics Learning Center

Location

Hunter East, 7th Fl Library

Telephone: (212)772-5371

The Dolciani Center is currently closed and will go to online tutoring and support for the remainder of the semester. We will do everything possible to support you in finishing out the semester.

-Mrs. Barone

NOTE: *The DMLC is OPEN for tutoring during the recalibration period*

The Dolciani Mathematics Learning Center understands the anxiety that you are feeling as you begin your courses online. We feel the same way – although we do not offer courses, the anxiety of offering all services to all of you online is there. Our tutors are ready to help you as they study for their own courses and are learning this new tutoring approach as well. Please be patient with all of us as we get through this together. We will be adding our evaluation form online shortly for you to evaluate your tutoring sessions. The services below will be offered starting Monday, March 23. If you encounter any problems or have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to email me at bbarone@hunter.cuny.edu. Please stay safe and healthy.

- Mrs. Barone
Director

PROBLEM SESSIONS

There will not be formal problem sessions but instead we make the following suggestion. Print out the workshop exercises from our website, work on the solutions, and then check your answers. If you get any of them incorrect and cannot see where you made your mistake, go to the tutoring session and ask the tutor.

MULTI-MEDIA MATERIALS

Students in MATH 101, 104, 105, 150, 155, STAT 113, STAT 213 already have access to our PLATO computer tutorials. Go to https://login.edmentum.com/, and put in account name hcdml. For your name put your EMPL ID # and for password type password. Then scroll down to see what is available for your course. If your course is not listed above, we will need to register you individually. Please send your name, course and empl to dmlc@hunter.cuny.edu to get registered.

STUDY SKILLS WORKSHOPS

We realized that a number of you who were attending the Study Skills workshops may not have gotten to attend Session 6 on "Improving Your Memory". So that you may attain the full credit for these workshops, we are going to run 4 additional Session #6 workshops as follows:
Mon April 13th 2:10 – 2:50
Tues April 14th 11:10 - 11:50
Wed April 15th 3:10 – 3:50
Thurs April 16th 1:10 – 1:50
The sessions will be 40 minutes long instead of 60 minutes and will be conducted on Zoom. If you are interested in attending, please email dmlc@hunter.cuny.edu and indicate which one of the 4 sessions you will be attending along with your empl ID, course and section. We will then send you an invitation to join. Please note at the end of the workshop you will be given 4 questions to answer about the session – so we can ensure that you came to the entire session. These responses should be emailed to dmlc@hunter.cuny.edu with your Name, Empl ID #, Course and Section before April 20. We will send you a reply to submit to your instructor along with your other form as proof that you attended.

We are also formulating a workshop on Study Skills for Learning Math in an On-line Environment that will be posted on our website in the near future. Keep checking this website for updates in tutoring hours, etc.

DROP-IN/TABLE TUTORING

Students wishing to participate in small-group tutoring from Dolciani should first check below for the hours when tutoring for a specific subject is available. During those hours you may send an email to mthtutor@hunter.cuny.edu and include the subject/course for which they need tutoring. You will then receive a link for a specific tutoring room in Scribblar. Even if you have used Scribblar before, you must send an email each time since there are multiple rooms and we want to ensure you have support. Just as with on-site tutoring during normal conditions, the tutor will assist as soon as possible and will work with a small group so it is best that your questions be prepared in advance. If there are large groups, we may ask you to sign out after one hour and return later.
