Jacks LeaP

Jacks Learning Partnerships for Math Success (or Jacks LeaP), is an opportunity for students to gain practice and mentorship exposure for extra credit.

Through Jacks LeaP, students are provided with a peer-led mentor group. Mentors are undergraduate students that have already passed the course. Mentors provide additional activities, study tips, and practice problems for students during Math Mentor Meetings.

Through Jacks LeaP, mentors also provide additional supplemental labs that are open to all students taking the course.

Jacks LeaP is currently offered for MATH 101, Math 103/093, Math 114/094, Math 115, Math 121, Math 123/123L, & Math 125.

For additional information, please visit the Jacks LeaP page, or contact Bill Alsaker.
