Consultation with Mathematics staff

All courses in Mathematics provide some form of consultation for students taking the course.

All full-time and permanent part-time academic staff are available at a number of times during the week for consultation with students in their classes about problems the student may be having with the course material. The times are advised on the information panel next to the staff persons door.

For the large First Year courses, there is a roster of full-time staff for most mornings and afternoons of the week. These staff will help students with any problems they may have with the coursework.

In addition, for the core First year courses, there is a Student Support Scheme run by later-year students to help first year students.

For later year courses with multiple tutorials, the consultation is provided by the tutors of the course. Rosters are not usually provided and you will need to check individual tutors rooms. The tutors names for the course should be available from the Course Home Page.

For small courses with only one or no tutorial, you should consult with the lecturer.

Consultation is not meant to be a substitute for attending lectures and tutorials and the consulting staff may refuse yo help if it is clear you have not been attending these.

If you need advice about which courses to take, or on enrolment problems, then see the page on Academic Advice.
