How to Succeed in Math at U.C. San Diego
Welcome Week 2006
This information is relevant for any student on this campus who is enrolled in a math class!
The sure path to passing your math classes, particularly 3C, 4C, 10A-B-C & 20A-B-C can be achieved by:
- Attending your lecture and discussion group.
- Reviewing the appropriate sections of the text prior to the lecture.
- Reviewing lecture material after class.
- Attending your discussion group.
- Visiting Office Hours.
Both your professor and TA hold office hours each week.
If you have a problem that was not resolved in lecture or the discussion time attend office hours.

Tip: Go with a problem you have tried to solve – it helps the professor/TA to see where you are not understanding the course material.
- Visiting the Calc Lab in APM B402A/B. It operates 8:00 am – 6:00 pm Monday through Friday. There are usually 2-4 tutors available to help
with your homework problems or class examples. A schedule can be found:

- Considering OASIS; a campus-wide program for undergraduates of all majors. The program provides free tutoring and helps improve study habits.
It is a more structured program and students need to sign up for sessions and attendance is then mandatory. OASIS also has drop-in study tables on
the 3rd floor of Center Hall.

- Getting together with friends to form a study/problem solving group. Just remember to turn in your own homework!
