SPECIAL STUDY MATH LEARNING CENTER The Mathematics Learning Center, MLC, is designed to assist students at Clinton in all areas of mathematics from basic arithmetic to college calculus. A primary aim of the MLC is to assist students in developing the skills and attitudes which enable them to achieve success in their math courses and math problems. Tutoring is avail- able not only for all students taking math courses at Clinton but also for students in courses such as econom- ics, nursing, chemistry, and data processing who need help with the mathematical content of those courses. The services provided are geared to the individual stu- dent. One-to-one tutoring with a qualified tutor is offered to students who wish to facilitate their understanding of key concepts. Students who desire to study for, or go over tests, or to discuss homework-related questions are invit- ed to visit the MLC. The MLC is run on an informal basis, and students are encouraged to drop in without an appointment. The over- all purpose of the MLC is to develop a positive relation- ship between students and the subject of mathematics, and to represent math as a natural, logical approach to the practical world.

THE TUTORING LAB Clinton Community College offers free tutoring to all registered full-time and part-time students. The Tutoring Lab is designed for students who need help in any academic course or for students who feel they need assistance in dveloping study procedures. Equipped with carrels, audio-visual aids, and various textbooks for stu- dent use, the Tutoring Lab also provides an excellent atmosphere for stu- dents who wish to study in a cingenial atmosphere. The Tutoring Lab is staffed by carefully trained and qualified tutors, many of whom are Clinton Honors graduates or Clinton students with excellent academic averages. Whenever possible, students establish a one-to-one rela- tionship with their tutors. The staff only uses audio-visual aids as a supple- ment for those students who choose to learn with this equipment. However, the Tutoring Lab encourages study groups that meet with a tutor as a leader. The Tutoring Lab at Clinton is not a place where students are merely coached in a particular academic subject. At the Tutoring Lab, students are encouraged to think, to respond, and to interact with their tutors and fellow students in such a way that their time spent in the Lab and at Clinton becomes enriched with the desire to learn and to share that learning with others.
