The Computational and Data Science (CDS) STARS are undergraduate Student Teaching Assistants and academic stars in their own right. This peer-mentoring program is one unique to the CDS department. STARS are undergrads who excel in CDS minor courses such as CDS 101, CDS 130 or CDS 230.  They attend classes to assist with hands-on work and help students with whatever they struggle with via multiple channels. They also hold office hours.

For more information, please go to the Computational and Data Science (CDS) STARS Page.

Some tips:

1. First, and most importantly, stay in contact with the instructor of the course. They are there to help you.
2. If there is a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) assigned to the course, reach out to them. They are also there to help you.
3. Seek out a peer mentor from the Volgenau Peer Mentor Program, which offers tutoring in a number of IT courses.

The Math Tutoring Center will be offering online tutoring services to students currently enrolled in undergraduate Math courses at GMU.

To access the Math Tutoring Center online, students will need to login to Blackboard, click on the Organizations tab, locate the Math Tutoring Center Organization, and self-enroll into this organization. (I would suggest trying to self-enroll yourself first so that you can know how to show them.)

Students can post their specific questions into the Piazza folder corresponding to their course. They must state their questions clearly and consider uploading a PDF file with their questions. The tutors will answer their questions as soon as possible, but they may have to wait until the following business day. If they receive answers to their questions, but they still need further clarification, they can also join an active Blackboard Collaborate session.

The Foreign Language Department offers a list of tutors offering services in different languages. Please find this information on their Tutoring in Foreign Languages page
