VECTOR
EQUATES
Elevate Your Quantitative Skills EQUATES (Everything Quantitative for Teachers and Students) is a new developing initiative in the Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology that will help both faculty and students through its four quadrants: I.) videos to support teaching and learning, II.) a virtual peer tutoring center, III.) professional development workshops for sharing best practices for using calculators, equation editors and other computer software and IV.) research support. Starting activities include the creation of a searchable video repository, with unique videos created by Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology faculty, to be used by faculty and students in all College of Arts & Sciences departments and other colleges as well. Students and faculty can search for any videos that may aid with a topic that is causing struggle. As soon as the video repository is set up, peer tutoring capabilities will be added in the next implementation step for the initiative.
Trajectory for Student Success The College of Arts & Sciences also offers the Virtual Environment for Communication: Teaching, Outreach and Research, or VECTOR, which helps support students and faculty in teaching, learning and research related to all forms of communication using our unique Virtual Communications Lab (VCL). The VCL provides help through free tutoring, workshops and online resources with tutors who can work with you at any stage of the communication compositions process — from brainstorming a speech topic to helping design effective visuals for your personal website or e-portfolio. The VCL also offers a variety of resources with tips on topics such as grammar, presentation techniques and APA formatting guidelines that you can access anytime, anywhere.
