Mission Statement
for the Wittenberg University Math Workshop
The mission of the
Wittenberg University Math Workshop is to provide support for students in
mastering the mathematical tools and concepts necessary for them to attain the
general education learning goal for mathematics as well as the mathematical
requirements of their individual educational programs. The workshop strives to teach students to
value math, to become confident in their ability to do math, to become
mathematical problem solvers, and to learn to communicate and reason
mathematically.
The workshop
carries out its mission through the following activities:
- Educating students and academic
advisers about the university’s two general- education mathematical
requirements and the course of study that an individual student must
complete to satisfy the mathematics learning goals.
- Providing both individual and group
instruction to prepare students with deficient mathematics backgrounds to
take quantitative (Q) and mathematical reasoning intensive (M) courses,
keeping records of student progress, and granting official certification
that the student has met the placement level prerequisite for their M and
Q courses.
- Providing tutorial assistance to
students in mathematics or statistics courses and other courses with
mathematical content.
