Numeracy and statistics support
Numeracy support is offered to all Hertfordshire Business School students through the Centre for Academic Skills Enhancement, which is the location of the SSCU’s Stats Support Desk offering statistical advice to staff and students alike. The Stats Support Desk supports students with statistics and mathematics queries throughout their studies.
The Business School’s Numeracy Support Co-ordinator, Dr. Michaela Cottee, is currently involved in the development of online diagnostic testing tools with integrated support materials. This complements the support available on an informal drop-in basis and through workshops and guest lectures on a range of topics, including numerical aptitude tests for students seeking a placement or employment.
