Discipline-Specific Support

Chemistry: The Chemistry Department's best resources for students exist in the chemistry study center. A regular study center and one specifically for organic chemistry are hosted in this space. Both instructors and TAs hold office hours in these spaces, and students are also able to meet with study groups and work on homework, etc. The study centers are staffed by TAs, so there is always someone available to answer questions: https://chem.washington.edu/study-centers

Chemistry faculty have also put together a list of learning strategies that can be particularly helpful for students studying chemistry: https://chem.washington.edu/catalyze-your-success-learning-strategies-students

Outside of the Chemistry department, it is recommend that students utilize resources such as CLUE and the IC.

Math: The Math Study Center is a great place for students in Math 120, 124, 125 and 126 to study. You can work with other students and get help from tutors when you are stuck: https://sites.math.washington.edu/~msc/
