Body doubling is a simple yet effective productivity strategy where someone works quietly alongside you, helping you stay focused and accountable. Their presence can reduce procrastination and is especially valuable during high-stress times like finals week! The Lougheed Learning Commons tutors will be hosting body-doubling sessions across campus—no sign-up needed! Just drop by whenever you need a productivity boost.
Note: Assistance with general study skills and some coursework is also available during these sessions.

Guidelines
- We are here to help you succeed in your LOWER DIVISION math class(es).
- In order to help you in your quest to learn mathematics, please do not ask us to do your homework problems and/or test/exam corrections.
- We will be happy to help you understand and/or solve similar problems. At times, it may be necessary for us to refer to your textbook. This helps to refresh our memories (remember we are also students) and it enables us to show you how to find necessary information in your book. This is a crucial skill for success in mathematics!
- Please realize that the math lab is open for all SUNY Potsdam students on a walk-in basis, thus it may or may not be full when you arrive for help. In light of this, plan accordingly and please do not wait until the last possible minute to get help.
- If you have any suggestions/concerns please contact Dr. Miller at (315) 267-2063, in her office at MacVicar 219 or via email.
