If you find yourself needing help after attempting the homework or studying on your own, please know there are many options available to you.
We strongly encourage you to take advantage of our departmental Physics Help and the STEM Zone, since many introductory classes have a dedicated STEM Zone ZI. Additional tutoring and academic support is available through the APEX (for more information see below in the Academic Resource Section).
Physics Help sessions:
The Physics Department is offering one help session each
Tuesday from 8 p.m. – 10 p.m. in Taylor 101.
You can talk with upper-level physics majors Therrin Baker ’28 and Abby Hovorka ’26 about your previous or upcoming homework, past homework, exam review, or any other conceptual question you have.
STEM Zone:
STEM Zone spaces are learning communities where students enrolled in introductory STEM courses can find quiet space or collaborative space to work, and get assistance from STEM Zone Interns, upper-level students who are trained to answer questions and inspire learning consistent with Wooster’s “independent minds, working together.”
The Taylor STEM Zone is physically located in Taylor 105 and is open
Wednesday & Thursday 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. and Sunday to Thursday 7 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Our two Physics Zone Interns Madeline Bruns and Tim Book hold the following office hours:
| xx: | xx | 8 p.m. – 10 p.m. |
| xx: | xx | 8 p.m. – 10 p.m. |

Tutors:
Peer tutoring is available upon request through the Academic Resource Center. You can meet in one-on-one sessions with an upper level physics major. Please visit this website to request a peer tutor.
Math Center:
If you have any questions about any of the Math concepts used in our classes, please visit the Math Center in the third floor of Taylor Hall, open Sunday to Friday at varying times. You can find more information on this website.
