| The Galois Group tutoring fundraiser is a quarterly event offering tutoring help in calculus courses. Much in the spirit of Calculus Room, we provide practice finals and answer questions that you may have as you prepare for your final exams. You may come and try these practice finals, clarify doubts, ask for explanations and study together with your peers. In return, we appreciate a suggested donation of $10 (per day) for the whole day's worth of tutoring help. | The Galois Group tutoring fundraiser is a quarterly event offering tutoring help in calculus courses.

| + | In light of the current situation with COVID-19, we have decided that it is best to cancel the tutoring fundraiser to lessen the likelihood of catching or spreading the flu. Interested students can either | ||
| + | get tutoring help from their respective TAs or engage in online discussions or virtual office hours | ||
| + | (such as using Zoom, Google Hangouts, Canvas or Piazza). | ||
| + | |||
| + | We will resume with future tutoring fundraisers when conditions are more favorable for students to | ||
| + | safely come to crowded areas. Take good care in the meantime. | ||
