The Mathematics Achievement Center (MAC) is a free math tutoring service offered by the the Mathematics Department. The Director of the MAC is Dr. Mary Rayappan.  Dr. Rayappan coordinates the student tutors, all of whom are selected for their math ability by the Mathematics Department faculty.  All of the student tutors are also certified.  Math faculty will also be staffing the MAC.  You can contact Dr. Rayappan at  rayappanm@easternct.edu or 465-4589.

The MAC is located on the first floor of the J. E. Smith Library, Room 107. The MAC phone numbers are (860) 465-0376 (or 0383).

The MAC is equipped with textbooks and software accommodating all courses for which the center will service.

The MAC hours for Fall 2009 are:

Monday	9:00 am - 9:00 pm
Tuesday	9:00 am - 9:00 pm
Wednesday	9:00 am - 9:00 pm
Thursday	9:00 am - 9:00 pm
Friday	9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Saturday	CLOSED
Sunday	2:00 pm - 9:00 pm

All students enrolled in MAT 098 and MAT 101W must go to the MAC.  As stated on your course syllabus, MAC participation will be counted as 10% of your final course grade.  Your grade will be based on the percentage of the required 18 hours that you complete.  Note this is approximately one hour and thirty minutes per week, which is less than half of the time a student should be studying for a 4 credit course.  For example, if you complete 16 hours then your MAC participation grade will be = 89%.

We recommend completing the first 9 hours by the close of the MAC on Friday, October 16, 2009 and remaining 9 hours by the closed of the MAC on Friday, December 4, 2009.  Again, student hours will only be recorded when the MAC is officially open!

As part of the Academic Services Center, the MAC is here to make your Eastern educational experience as successful and stress free as possible. While in the MAC, students may be engaged in the following activities:

• Take assessment tests
• Work with the TI-83/84/89 calculator
• Work with one of the previously mentioned software products on a computer
• Have a conference
• Homework
• Work through practice sheets for MAT 098, MAT 101, or MAT 101W
• Review quizzes or test
• Study skills, work on time management and lecture notes
• Tutoring
• Use of applicable textbooks

First, you need to bring your Eastern ID because you will need to scan in and out of the MAC. Secondly, you need to sign in and out on the login sheet in order to receive credit for the time spent in the MAC. You will only receive credit for your time when the MAC is open for business. You will not be credited with any time if you show up before the MAC is open.

Tutoring is available on a non-appointment basis.

The MAC does not guarantee that you will receive one-on-one tutoring.  The volume of students in the MAC will determine whether tutoring occurs in small groups or individually.

You should make an appointment at Tutoring Services, also located in Library Room 108.  Please note that when you arrive for that scheduled appointment, you will still need to scan in and out of the MAC and sign in and out on the login sheet if you are enrolled in MAT 098 or 101W.
