Events, Workshops and Programs

The MESH team will be providing maths and stats help during the Autumn 2024 semester. Just bring the (non-assessment) questions you are struggling with or lecture/tutorial notes to the relevant Zoom room (see below) and a MESH tutor will be there to assist you. This is a drop-in service meaning that you don’t need to book an appointment, just make yourself known to the tutor in Zoom.

The service will be available from week 2 (week commencing March 11) until the end of Stuvac with the exception of the mid-semester break (week 8) and public holidays.

MESH tutors will be available on the indicated days. Times may change due unforeseen circumstances.

Face-to-face help will be available at Campbelltown, Parramatta South, Parramatta City and Kingswood campuses for the weeks specified. As with online support, bring your (non-assessment) questions or other problems to receive help from a MESH tutor.

Available times:

Maths clubs are an opportunity for students in maths units to work collaboratively in a Zoom breakout room with support from as MESH tutor. Come along and work on unfinished tutorial problems or other revision material with members of your cohort. Times for Maths Clubs for Autumn session will be posted early in the Autumn session.

Do you ever get halfway through a maths or stats related problem in the middle of the night and have a mental block about the next step? Wish you could ask someone about it before you forget where you up to?

Introducing "I Don 't Get It", an online maths and stats help forum. Post your maths or stats related problem (along with some details of where you've gotten with it) as a new Post in the forum and a member of the MESH team or one of your fellow students can help with the next steps. If you feel shy about asking questions, you can post anonymously to other students. To sign up or sign in to I Don 't Get It go to this page.

The guided Maths Start workshops have concluded for Autumn 2024. All workshop materials are available through the Maths Start vUWS site if you would like to revise your basic skills in Algebra, Statistics, Trigonometry or Calculus. Assistance with material in these workshops is available through Maths and Stats Helps sessions and I Don't Get It. If you don 't have the Maths Start Workshops site in your My vUWS Companion Sites, please contact MESH for access.
