Perhaps no subject strikes more fear in college students than math.<\/p>\n
The University of Florida Counseling Center\u2019s website states that 30 percent of college students struggle with math anxiety. Sinclair Community College students who share these worries have a valuable resource to help in their battles: The Math Lab.<\/p>\n
The Math Lab is located in Building 1, Room 315. Willow Cliffswallow serves as math lab manager.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe try and put out as much information and as many resources as we can,\u201d says Cliffswallow.<\/p>\n
The lab\u2019s resources include: instructional videos and CD lectures, worksheets and handouts for most courses, practice tests, access to interactive practice problems with step-by-step help and examples, textbooks and student solution manuals and student and faculty tutors.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe support all the math courses that Sinclair offers,\u201d says Cliffswallow. \u201cWe have materials and tutors, it doesn\u2019t matter what course the students are in.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to statistics from fall quarter, Wednesday brings in the highest volume of students, while Friday and Saturday are the low volume days. Forty percent of the lab\u2019s traffic uses the facility from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. with 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. serving as the lowest volume hour.<\/p>\n
Many of the resources available in the lab can be found on the website www.sinclair.edu\/centers\/mathlab.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents want more things online,\u201d says Cliffswallow. \u201cStudents often say, \u2018why can\u2019t I do this at home?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Math Lab Facilitator Brett Holland believes many students\u2019 struggles with math stems from cultural elements.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is unfortunate that in our society, math is almost ingrained in student\u2019s heads as a bad thing,\u201d said Holland.<\/p>\n
Math may come easier to some people, but according to Holland everyone can succeed \u2013 if they try.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can do this,\u201d said Math Lab Facilitator Brett Holland. \u201cSome just may have to work harder, but it can be done.\u201d<\/p>\n
