Communication

  • A strategic communication program from pre-entry and throughout the MathUp experience will give you the best advantage to understand the resources available, engage in self-discovery, practice self-agency and form new habits of mind around the nature of college learning and educational growth.
    • Pre-entry Survey – We want to know YOU, your prior experiences with math, as well as your expectations for MathUp.
    • Phone Outreach - Following up on the pre-entry survey, success advisors seek to establish a one-to-one relationship with you and a customized a support experience for each student.
    • Personalization - Connect you directly with success advising, tutoring and CATalyst mentoring contacts.
    • GroupMe – Students connected to their classmates via a text-chat group are able to help each other and point each other in the right direction. Text chat creates an instant community with peers and success advisors to support you.

Community Learning Assets

  • Success Advising – There to provide personalization and connection. Early and consistent success advising sessions help you get going on the right foot, assist you in debriefing early homework and test scores (cognitive wrappers), and prove important nudges to use provided supports.
  • FLOWzone – A community of learning practice where you can (virtually or in person) study, connect with classmates, and make studying more effective and efficient.
  • SmartyCats Tutoring – Tutors can provide content support and can also be a model for “learning how to learn” and making studying priorities, as well as for engagement, reflection and growth—peer to peer.
  • CATalyst Mentoring – CATalysts provide that “I was there too once” wisdom that can only come from another student!CATalysts are especially helpful in supporting knowable and effective use of D2L, the Pulse App (to stay on top of course announcements), Webex, and other remote learning platforms.
  • Incentives – A mindful incentive rollout is just the extra nudge you may want to try something new. Gift cards, snacks, raffles and ChampChange point accumulation make a difference when you are trying something new.It’s a win-win!
