Events, Workshops and Programs

The MESH team will be providing maths and stats help during the Spring 2023 session (July 31 -November 3). Just bring the (non-assessment) questions you are struggling with or lecture/tutorial notes to the relevant Zoom room (see below) and a MESH tutor will be there to assist you. This is a drop-in service meaning that you don’t need to book an appointment, just make yourself known to the tutor in Zoom.

The service will be available from week 2 (week commencing July 31) until the end of Stuvac with the exception of the mid-semester break (week 8) and public holidays.

MESH tutors will be available on the indicated days. Times may change due unforeseen circumstances.

Face-to-face help will be available by appointment at Campbelltown, Parramatta South and Kingswood campuses for 15 minute one off sessions. Note that 24 hours notice is required for face-to-face help.

Available times:

Please email mesh@westernsydney.edu.au with your request, please be sure to include which campus you would like to make an appointment on.

Maths clubs are an opportunity for students in maths units to work collaboratively in a Zoom breakout room with support from as MESH tutor. Come along and work on unfinished tutorial problems or other revision material with members of your cohort. Times for Maths Clubs for Autumn session will be posted early in the Spring session.

Do you ever get halfway through a maths or stats related problem in the middle of the night and have a mental block about the next step? Wish you could ask someone about it before you forget where you up to?

Introducing "I Don 't Get It", an online maths and stats help forum. Post your maths or stats related problem (along with some details of where you've gotten with it) as a new Post in the forum and a member of the MESH team or one of your fellow students can help with the next steps. If you feel shy about asking questions, you can post anonymously to other students. To sign up or sign in to I Don 't Get It go to this page.
