Welcome to MASH!

 

Welcome to Acadia's Math & Stats Help Centre (MASH)! Our goal is to help you with the mathematics or statistics content in your courses. This is a peer-tutoring (free of charge) service.

Who can use the MASH Centre?

Students in any INTRODUCTORY math or stats course can use the MASH centre during our drop-in hours to get some hints and help.

Students taking mathematical business or economics courses who have questions about statistics are also welcome to use the MASH drop-in centre during statistics times. The tutors MAY be able to help, although your questions may be in unfamiliar contexts.

Where is the MASH Centre? 

The main MASH room is Huggins 167, which is located on the first floor of Huggins Science Hall.  Please check the schedule below for room numbers for specific help sessions.

DROP IN HELP: If you need help with an assignment question, please attend a drop-in shift during the week.  No reservation required!

MASH services over Reading Week are limited to the following two drop-in help sessions for all courses (please bring your course notes!)

Reading Week Drop-in Help

SMALL GROUP TUTORING: If you are having difficulty in a course and would benefit from extra instruction and practice, please sign up for one of our small group tutoring sessions on our MASH | Moodle. Sessions are 1-hour in length on Saturdays by reservation only. To book a seat, go here MASH | Moodle.

REVIEW SESSIONS: These are offered for some of our first-year courses before a test or final exam.  Ask your professor if a review session is planned for your course.

What should I bring?

Please note that our tutors are not allowed to do your homework for you. Students should bring their class notes with them to the MASH Centre and the tutors will help them understand what they have been shown in class.  They will work on examples similar to homework problems. Students should come prepared with specific questions.
