Tutoring
Free tutoring is provided to all students enrolled in introductory and intermediate economic theory classes (Econ 200, 201, 300 and 301). Tutoring is organized by the Economics Undergraduate Board and quarterly schedules are posted on the EUB website. The tutoring office is located on the 3rd floor of Savery Hall..
The Economics Advising Office also maintains a list of graduate students in economics who do tutoring for a fee. Their hourly rates vary from $15 to $30.
The study of Economics requires a solid background in Algebra and Calculus. It is expected that students taking Econ 300 and beyond will be proficient in this area. If you need to review calculus basics, visit the following links:
- Karl's Math Review
- Professor Thornton's Math Review
- Instructor Finkle's Differential Calculus Review
Economics Undergraduate Board (EUB)
The Economics Undergraduate Board (EUB) was created to act as a liaison between students, faculty/staff, and alumni. Check out their website for current programs and activities.
Resource Room
The department currently has a Resources Room on the 3rd floor of Savery Hall, which is staffed during tutoring hours.
