College of Science Testing and Tutoring Center
The Testing and Tutoring Center (TTC) mission is to provide a secure environment for testing involving primarily the use of technology to provide the material tested.
The testing center is located in Planetary Hall room 2 and is open about 50 hours per week including some hours on Saturday and Sunday.
Using the Testing Center:
- Send any requests for using the facility to the TTC Supervisor Mario Gliozzi
- Schedule the test/quiz in TTC in consultation with TTC supervisor.
Math Tutoring
- The tutors CANNOT simply answer your homework problems for you. The tutors will guide you through the problem by suggesting things to try or asking you questions.
- Do not give a list of homework problems for tutors to solve for you. Not following this guideline might constitute in some cases a violation of the Honor Code.
- Please clearly state the problem(s) you are trying to solve and provide as much context as possible, so the tutors can fully understand your questions and provide the most help to you.
