Boot Camps

Taking Math 150 or Statistics 113 this Spring? Attend our Special Boot Camps!

Special boot camps are held before classes begin each semester for MATH 150 and STAT 113. These are 3-4 day workshops covering specific information about the particular course, the math study skills needed to be successful, and prerequisite material needed for Day 1. The workshops meet 3 hours each day.

You Will Learn

• What to expect from your courses this Spring.
• Successful study strategies and what skills need strengthening.
• The support services available to assist you in your course.
• Test-taking strategies and ways to overcome math and test anxiety.
• Prerequisite knowledge needed for the course and more!

• Stat 113 Special Boot Camp

To reserve your spot, students can register on Navigate for the available times.

Regular boot camps are one-hour sessions reviewing the specific topics. They are offered both day and evening, onsite and virtually. Register for these session on Navigate.
