NEWSFLASH! PVCC moves into the online tutoring arena with a new online math pilot for the Summer 2008 session! If you haven't tried it, stop by and visit us in cyberspace on Saturday or Sunday!
We are using Blackboard's virtual classroom, Wimba for voice, and the tutor has a graphic tablet and stylus to write the equations you ask about. In the virtual classroom, tutors can answer general questions in the group or meet in a quick breakout session.

Study Tips
of the Week:
Test anxiety reduction strategies
often require more determination and effort than other types
of strategies: As you
begin to feel anxious, you can create a relaxation response
to avoid the negative effects of anxiety (i.e., tension, nervousness,
forgetfulness, knots in stomach, nausea, shortness of breath).
- This can be done by focusing on a
favorite landscape, song, or happy moment, or even by counting.
- This is often among the easiest to
implement and the most effective in dealing quickly and immediately
with anxiety.
- Some specific relaxation strategies
are listed in "Learning
Your Way."
