Maths Intensive sessions

Will you be undertaking any upcoming units in which you’ll need to unpack mathematical or statistical concepts? If so, we encourage you to join our upcoming online Maths Intensives sessions to build and refresh your maths skills in readiness for Trimester 2.

We are offering four one-hour maths sessions for students via Zoom, which will be facilitated by our maths team and our student Maths Mentors, and will include an introduction to some of our latest maths resources.

Pick and choose which session you would like to attend based on your interests and study requirements. Remember to register and to acquaint yourself with the content in each session via Deakin’s Foundation Maths Program. Each intensive session will be complemented by an online follow-up session from 2–3pm.
