Workshops

Workshops and Open Labs

The workshops (Burnaby) and open labs (Surrey) provide a stimulating environment where students can meet and discuss course material with their course instructor, workshop/lab coordinator and teaching assistants (TAs). Here students can find help with completing their assignments, studying course material, and preparing for midterm and final exams. Workshops also provide an opportunity for students to meet fellow classmates and form study groups.

Beware, midterm times are hectic at the workshop, and often help is limited due to high demand. The workshop is of great benefit for those students who use it on a regular basis. Don't miss out, drop by!

For ease of writing the term workshop will refer to both the workshops at Burnaby and the open labs at Surrey. Likewise, the term workshop coordinator will refer to both the workshop coordinators at Burnaby and the lab coordinators at Surrey.

Role of the Workshop Coordinator

The role of the workshop coordinator is filled by a faculty member of the Department of Mathematics, who has accumulated a wide experience in teaching mathematics and is knowledgable on the material covered in the workshop. If you have any question on the operation of the workshop, collection of assignments, or marking of assignments and exams, then speak to the coordinator and not the instructor of your course.
