Advance booking for year 2
As year 2 courses become more specialised than year 1, we ask that you book a meeting with tutor
Meetings are available during normal MathsBase hours as long as the tutor has experience teaching material from the relevant course. Bookings can be made up to four days in advance so if no time is available then please try again the next day. The booking link will return for Semester 2 courses.
After booking, you will be sent a meeting invite by email. Both individuals and groups are welcome, if you would like to join as a group then one person should book the 20-minute meeting and share the information with the others.
Note that appointments may not be made more than four days in advance.
If you have any questions about MathsBase or the online booking then please contact David Quinn (d.quinn@ed.ac.uk).
