Homework Sets:

Homework Graders: These students grade homework sets.

Problem Session Holders: These students hold problem sessions in which they help students in the class understand mathematical concepts. They answer specific questions from the homework sets.

Peer-Led Instructors: These students hold sessions in which they help students understand mathematical concepts from the class. PLI sessions, however, are different from problem sessions, because the peer-led instructor cannot help with specific questions from the homework.

Math Labs:

SPSS/Mathematica Graders: These students grade SPSS lab assignments and/or Mathematica lab assignments.

Mathematica Lab Assistants: These students supervise lab hours in Park 354 that are targeted towards specific classes. They are available for questions relevant to the program(s) used in the lab assignments for a specific class.

SPSS Lab Assistants: These students supervise lab hours in Guild. They are available for questions relevant to the program(s) used in the lab assignments for a specific class.

Open Lab Hours Supervisors: These students supervise lab hours in Park 354 that are not geared towards any one class. In general, they are not meant to answer specific questions about lab assignments.

Tutors/Trig Mini Course:

Private Tutors: These students are employed by the Dean's Office. They are paired up with a student for one-on-one help.

Senior Tutor: This student organizes the private tutors. When a student goes to the Dean's Office requesting a tutor, they are put in contact with the Senior Tutor who matches them with an appropriate private tutor.

Trig Mini-Course Instructors: These students hold a four-part, mini-course near the beginning of the semester which reviews the Unit Circle, Trig Identities, and Graphs of Trig Functions.
