| Special workshops−with small class size−support a diverse group of students enrolled in “gateway” science and mathematics courses such as calculus, chemistry, and physics. Students are encouraged to collaborate in small groups as they work on daily assignments, challenging supplemental worksheets, and mock exams. SEP provides a relaxed atmosphere in a supportive environment of peers in addition to experienced instructors who take a special interest in the success of their students.
Integrated into these work sessions are strategies on how
to learn, what to learn, note taking, test preparation, and
other elements essential for success. Moreover, the workshop
program has expanded to include key upper-division courses
in some majors.
