The University Center, West Hawaii, located at Hawaii Community College Palamanui, is hosting a free workshop designed to help anyone who has trouble conquering the “math monster.”
Many current or incoming students have a fear of math that prevents them from pursuing and attaining the degree or certificate they are seeking.
The workshop, titled “Slaying the Mental Math Monster for Good,” is designed to help them overcome their fears and frustrations and get on the path to success.
The workshop will take place from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the computer lab at the HCC Palamanui Library Learning Center. It is free and open to the public.
During the workshop, participants will learn valuable tips to overcome their negative math mindset, the new, condensed math pathways at HCC Palamanui that are now in place and valuable resources to help them succeed in math (in placement testing and classes).
The workshop will be conducted by University Center educational specialist Carrie Kuwada Phipps along with Palamanui math student peer tutor Brad Levandowski.
For more information and to RSVP, contact Phipps at carriekp@hawaii.edu or 969-8808.
