Core Review Sessions
Core Review is an academic assistance program offered by CASA that provides peer-led academic support for all students enrolled in Core classes in Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics! This support is led by Core Review Facilitators: Current Mines students that previously took the course they are supporting and did very well – now, they want to help make sure YOU do the same. Our Facilitators support students by offering weekly in-person Office Hours and Core Review Sessions before exams and during key points of the semester.
