MAC tutoring: The Math Achievement Center (MAC) is an open Math tutoring lab located in Winship 110. Tutors are available for all math classes provided at LSC-NH and the MAC provides access to various forms of technology to support student learning and success. Students can check out laptops for use in the MAC to complete math assignments and have access to interactive projectors and desk top computers with all the software used in their math classes. Students are encouraged to use the MAC to visit with a tutor, meet with a group in one of the study rooms, or review with an instructor in the conference room.
