in your studies because of work, family, or travel obligations?
Are you able to. . .
- Make good choices
when it comes to doing your homework?
- Ask for help when
you need it?
- Follow a
schedule?
If this sounds like you, the LCC Math Lab is right for you!
I loved going to Math
Lab. I had been away from math
for 28 years and knew nothing about graphing calculators.
I felt very intimidated at the
thought of returning. The very
first week I found the instructors to be very helpful and extremely patient
as I learned. With
encouragement from the instructors, I found myself drawn to the Math Lab to
be challenged. The ability to
work ahead and then be free to take a couple days off to study for another
class was wonderful! I
accomplished 107 and 112 in 1 ½ semesters.
It was a blessing to have such caring and compassionate teachers in
my corner who cared deeply about my success.

What is the Math Lab? 
The Math Lab is a
flexible learning system that emphasizes individual instruction for Math
050, Math 107, and Math 112.
Instruction begins in our large, open classroom in A&S 309 as
self-directed study:
students get their assignments in their course packet, read the
textbook, and do their homework.
As soon as a question or difficulty arises, students simply raise
their hands and an instructor comes to give individual instruction.
Students can get this help as often as needed.
Additional instruction is available at the Instructor Station,
through DVDs, and interactive websites.
There is
flexibility in attendance:
- Attend any 4 hours per week out of the hours the lab is open—days, evenings, and Saturdays (Fall and Spring)
- No limit to the number of additional hours you can attend and get instruction
There is flexibility in testing:
- Take tests when you are ready -
ahead of schedule or even a little behind -
- Retake tests after focused instruction if a test is failed
-
There is
flexibility in the pace:
- Start the next course (Math 107 or 112) if a course is finished early
- Finish two
courses in the same semester and pay for only one
While Math Lab courses are not “self-paced,” students have considerable flexibility in scheduling their required hours and the ability to work ahead.
In the Math
Lab, many friendly and competent people answered all the questions I had.
Some even went the extra mile to look up information to a question I had and
explained very complex math on a level that I could understand. The
instructors and math assistants have what I call a "teacher's heart". The
level of helpfulness is wonderful and I have excelled in my math work.
Overall I am very happy with the Math Lab structure and would highly
recommend that more students investigate it.
