What a Few Students Said about the Summer 2006 Math Jam…
It's a really good program. I would attend next year.
Now I understand how to balance a checkbook, establish credit, and even apply myself to math problems. So thank you!
The tutors never made me feel dumb. They were very accessible. Thank you to all!
Class participation was great. Working in groups helped a lot! Thank you!
I liked the people, the instructor, and how the jam was broken down. Thank you for all the help!
It would be nice if Math Jam was one week longer.
Math Jam is a very good learning experience and it helps individuals catch up on forgotten information.
I hope Math Jam is offered again.
