The Help Centre is staffed by graduate students and sometimes high-level undergrads with a passion for teaching, and
knowledge and experience with courses. You can avail yourself of any of the numerous Math Help Centre services if you

MHC WORKSHOP SEMINARS
These are free workshop seminars organized throughout the Semester on selected topics students frequently have problems with.
In these workshops, problems that aid understanding of the topic, and problems that are commonly found on the midterm and final
examinations are tackled. Each workshop starts with a (roughly) 20-minute demonstration, with time in the middle for participants
to attempt the problems and ask questions if/when they get stuck. The problems that caused students the most difficulty are then
demonstrated for the last 20 minutes. Below is a list of scheduled workshop seminars for the semester, however, you can request
for workshops on topics you have difficulty in from the MHC website. Please visit the Workshop page to
find out about our offerings and to register.
