This is free, quality tutoring to all ASU students registered in those math classes. However, you must bring your SunCard . There is more information at Tutor Center Information.
- MyMathLab: Some MAT 211 sections may use MyMathLab, an online evaluation tool. In order to use MyMathLab, you will need a computer with internet access and a web browser. It can be either your own or one in any of the ASU computer labs. You can login to MyMathLab at CourseCompass. In order to login, you must have an access code that you need to purchase, and the course ID that will be announced in class. Further instructions will be given in class.
- Calculator: You are required to have a TI-83+ or TI-84+ calculator for this course. Some homework assignments and exam questions may require using certain features of the TI-83+/84+ that do not exist on other calculators. If you need to buy one, you may consult with the instructor. Calculators with QWERTY keyboards or those that do symbolic algebra such as TI-89's, TI-92's, Casio FX2 or 9970G's cannot in general be used in class or during exams.
