The Math Lab is bringing back its Adopt-A-TA program this semester!  Through Adopt-A-TA, students from your class can form a group that meets at a certain hour that the Math Lab is open every week with a specific TA.  That TA will be assigned to meet with your group exclusively and can help work through whatever problems you may have.  In order to take part in Adopt-A-TA you must have at least 7 students from your class (they can be from another section of the same course as long as the two sections cover the same material at the same time). 

It is important to note that this program is not in place so that TAs will be available to “walk you through” your assigned homework, but instead assist you with the more difficult and confusing questions that you have identified after having gone through your homework prior to your designated hour.

The duration for Adopting the TA is determined by your group. You may Adopt-A-TA for

·        The day before a test.

·        The month to help with a difficult chapter.

·        Every week of the semester (one month at a time)

This is a great opportunity for upper division math students to get help!  The Math Lab has a limited number of upper division TAs and some classes are more difficult to tutor than others.  By joining Adopt-A-TA you will not only have a TA assigned to your group, but you will have the opportunity to help each other in a study group setting.  We are hoping that many upper division students will take advantage of this.  If your class is a smaller class and you are having difficulty getting 7 students, 6 students can make a group.

The secretaries in the Math Lab will have the sign-up sheet at the check-out desk.  You can come in separately to sign-up; however, you must get a total of seven people from your class before your TA will be assigned to you.  We hope this can help everyone have a better semester.  Good luck!
