Our Mission

csX provides free, one-on-one peer tutoring for students seeking help in CS 1300, 1301, 1302, 5201, and 5202 courses. Peer tutoring offers an excellent learning experience for tutors and students seeking help. Peer tutoring reinforces the tutor's knowledge of the subject matter and creates an excellent educational opportunity in a personal environment. csX assists students with common computer tasks and information relevant to computer science courses. csX may direct students seeking help to appropriate faculty and/or staff for additional assistance.

New: csXcore for CS 1000, 1020, and 1030 students!

csXcore specializes in assisting students taking introductory computer literacy courses in the Core; specifically:

CS 1000 - Practical Computing
CS 1020 - Computers and Society
CS 1030 - Introduction to Computer Concepts

Please take note - csXcore is not a homework lab. csXcore can help with and answer SPECIFIC questions about your CS 1000, 1020, or 1030 assignments; however, you will still need to work on assignments and quizzes from your own computer or at a campus open lab.

Tips for getting the most from csX

Try solving problems before visiting csX - you'll probably find that you are able to solve many of them on your own!
Bring specific questions when you visit csX. If you have truly made an attempt to work through a problem on your own, you will have more specific questions and we will have a better idea of what you need help with.
PROCRASTINATION IS A KILLER! Reduce your stress by not waiting until the last day before your assignment is due to come for help! Also, this will help you avoid a crowded csX when everyone else who waited until the last minute comes for help.
If you can't come and see us during lab hours, feel free to make an appointment (see contact info above).
We provide help and tutoring - NOT answers! We can guide you in the right direction but we cannot tell you if your answers are right or wrong.
When you leave csX, go home or to the lab and PRACTICE. Success in Computer Science has everything to do with the amount of time and effort you put in.
