classroom instruction and give you the extra
practice you need to master course objectives.
Those activities include:
 Practice Tests and Quizzes
 Additional Practice Handouts
 Seminars
 Tutoring Appointments
 Recorded Lectures

To gain the most from these activities,
do the homework assignments first.
If you have questions or need help,
tutors are ready to assist.
• Working in a Study Group is a great way to complete homework
assignments, get help with problems, and receive lab credit at the
same time!
• To receive credit,
 You must work with at least one other student. One person is not
a group!
 You must present your PantherCard to a tutor at the PantherTrail
Station to be signed in on the computer. At that time, you should
also alert the tutor that you will be working in a Study Group.
 When you’re ready to leave, have a tutor initial and stamp your
assignment sheet for the time you spent.
 Strategy Seminars are offered on selected days and times and
topics vary throughout the semester. Topics may include:
 My Learning Style
 Note Taking Strategies
 Test Prep and Test Taking Strategies
 Math Anxiety
 Time Management
 Word Problems: Friend or Foe?
 Study Strategies
 To Think or Not To Think
 Procrastinators Anonymous
 To Think or Not To Think
>> Strategy Seminars are held in the Think Tank area of the Math Lab. <<
 Prep PSS are offered for both Basic
Algebra I and Basic Algebra II. During
these sessions, students
 Discuss homework problems
 Learn problem-solving strategies
 Practice critical thinking skills
 Review chapter concepts
 Prepare for quizzes and tests
 Supplemental Workshops in Math
(SWiM) are interactive workshops
that are focused on specific
sections of math courses that
students tend to struggle with the
most. They are one-hour
workshops, guided by a facilitator,
geared to helping students master
these math
>> Seminars are held in the Think Tank area of the Math Lab. <<
 You may schedule appointments in person at
the Reception Desk or by calling the Math Lab.
 Appointments last 30 minutes and begin on
the hour or half-hour.
You do not need to schedule tutoring
appointments to receive help! Tutors in the Prep
Room are always available to assist you with
homework and lab activities.
If a tutor does not match your learning style, ask
to see another tutor, or talk to the Prep Math
Learning Specialist. We want you to succeed!
• Students with documented disabilities may
request standing appointments of 1 or 1.5
hours for a total of 3 hours per week.
 Appointments are initially set up by a
learning specialist, and are then
automatically scheduled each week.
 In addition, you may schedule regular halfhour appointments on days when you do
not have a standing appointment.
• If you must miss class, the first thing we recommend
that you do is to watch the recorded lectures.
• The lectures feature step-by-step worked examples.
They are a great way to study at your own pace!
• The lectures may not be copied.
• Additional Practice worksheets include
several exercises that focus on individual
chapter sections.
• It is best to complete your homework
assignments prior to attempting the
Additional Practice activities.
• In order to receive credit you must complete
a minimum of 2 sections and you must do
this activity in the Math Lab.
• If assistance is needed, see a tutor!
• Initially, you should attempt to rework
your incorrect problems to locate your
own mistakes. If you still need help,
you can get assistance from a tutor in
the lab. A tutor will stamp & initial
your lab assignment sheet once you
have completed the corrections for lab
credit.
– Students that score below a 75% are
recommended to schedule an appointment
in order to thoroughly go over all
corrections.
• The Supplemental Instruction (SI) program at Palm Beach
State College offers students regularly-scheduled, out-ofclass study sessions with an SI Leader.
 SI leaders are students who have successfully
completed Palm Beach State College math courses.
 The SI leaders will help you get started and guide you
through course objectives.
• If you are enrolled in a Basic Algebra I or II course that has
an assigned SI Leader, you can receive credit for this
activity by attending the scheduled SI sessions. (Check with
your instructor to see if your class applies)
• Don’t wait until the last minute to complete lab
assignments! Each activity will take approximately
one to two hours to complete.
• Statistics show that students who participate
regularly in lab activities receive higher grades and
are more successful in Palm Beach State College
math courses!
