How is the MATH Hub different from a regular math class?

A class in the MATH Hub combines the lecture you would receive in a traditional class with computer-assisted instruction. Students meet in a regular classroom for two hours each week so that the instructor can cover major mathematics concepts. The rest of the class meetings will be in the MATH Hub where students will use the computer to work individually on assignments. The instructor and other math tutors will be available in the MATH Hub to help students with questions.

Will the class meet the same number of hours as a lecture class?

A class in the MATH Hub meets two hours per week in a lecture format. The students then will attend the HUB for three hours to actually work on math exercises and take tests. The number of credit hours for the course is the same as a traditional course.  Summer classes meet for 1:20 hours Lecture and 2:00 hours Hub twice per week.
