Learning Resources—GEMS Center
The
Office of Student Success and Assessment operates the GEMS Center (Gateways to
Engagement, Mastery and Success) which offers assistance to students in
writing, mathematics, multiple science fields, reading, study skills, and other
academic disciplines. These services are available through individual and small
group appointments, workshops, short courses, and a variety of online and
instructional technologies.
The
Math Lab gives short‑term and
semester‑long support for a variety of introductory and advanced
mathematics courses. Students may drop in or make appointments to visit with a
math tutor on a regular basis.
The
Writing Center offers one-to-one and
small group assistance with general and advanced writing assignments and
overall writing skills. Appointments are strongly recommended.
The
GEMS Center also offers facilitated
group study and review sessions as a supplement to many UT Dallas courses.
Students should check the center’s website for offerings and additional
availability of peer-led team learning (PLTL) and tutoring in specific
subjects.
Academic
success advisors are available for individual student appointments to discuss
study skills, time management, note-taking, test taking and preparation, and
other success strategies. All students enrolled at UT Dallas are eligible for
these services.
