  • QuEST sessions.  Most QuEST sessions are running through videoconferencing. Again, details may vary between courses.
  • Individual tutoring: Tutors and tutees will meet online, through videoconferencing. See tutor availability for individual appointments through our Scheduler software. 
    • Tutees can select repeating (weekly) appointments or occasional consultations. 
    • Tutees can upload problems to the appointment so tutors can prepare in advance.
    • The online location for the session appears in the Scheduler appointment information.

Basic quantitative skills, i.e. mathematical concepts and reasoning skills, are needed to succeed in F&M’s intro science, econ, math and computer science courses. Here we provide some self-help resources for several topics that students commonly find challenging.
