The last activity of the day was a talk by a student learning development officer offering Mathematical support

Glasgow University aims to support all students. An area which had been identified as requiring support was the number of students dropping out of maths and engineering courses – this was because some students found the mathematical demand of these courses too difficult.

In 2008, a maths support student learning support development officer post was created. Students are offered one to one support to help them cope with the demands of their course.
