Mona Meddin has joined the School of Mathematics as an Academic Professional. Ms Meddin, who has been at Georgia Tech since 1986,
has a long involvement with specialized help for students outside of the
classroom setting.
The MathLab is a long running lab for drop in tutoring for core curriculum
math courses, all of the Calculus classes for instance. With no person
directly involved in the operation of the Lab, it is probably an under utilized
service. Ms Meddin has a number of ideas for improving the usefulness
of the Lab.
This includes expanding the list of client courses, up to the Junior level courses, which are largely service courses for other departments, to widening the expertise of the tutoring availible. One of the more interesting ideas is encouraging Professors to hold an office hour in the Lab.
