Math anxiety can turn your math class into a nightmare. The Math Resource Center along with Student Services hosts workshops each semester to talk about math anxiety. We also talk through tips that may help you overcome this anxiety. Below are the handouts and general information from our workshops.

For all classes, it is a good idea to know how best you personally learn stuff. Maybe you remember stuff that is told to you better than stuff you see. Maybe you need to get your hands on something to truly understand it. Knowing your particular learning style will help you study more effectively. Below are handouts to help you figure out your learning style and what to do about it.
