Quantitative Reasoning Fellows
Who we are: The Q Fellows are peer facilitators who offer support in courses that require students to use quantitative reasoning, mathematical processing, and symbolic logic to be successful. They are generalists, trained to work with students on the mathematical reasoning necessary to understand the content in a variety of disciplines.
Brooke Adams '16, Major: Geoscience, Minors: Math & Environmental Studies
Fernando Banales Mejia '17, Major: Chemistry
Katherine Campbell '18, Majors: Math & Economics
Alana Kilcullen '15, Majors: Math & International Relations, Minor: Education
Jeff Rizza '16, Majors: Physics & Environmental Studies, Minor: Geoscience
What we do: The Q Fellows hold drop-in hours and offer support to students around a wide range of mathematical concepts, from Algebra refreshers to learning Calculus II concepts. Students come from many departments including Environmental Studies, Economics, Physics, and Psychology, for a variety of reasons; reviewing basic mathematical concepts, deciphering statistic methods, applications of Calculus and many others.
