Although the Math & Stats Assistance Centre does not run review sessions in the summer, the questions and brief answers from our April reviews are posted on the 2024/25 Math & Stats Assistance Centre Brightspace. These reviews are not complete overviews of the course material, and the MSAC tutors are not involved in creating or evaluating your actual final exam, but we hope that these sessions will be useful to you as you study!
