Online Tutoring Worksheets & Videos
Our Academic Support Programs team maintains a Canvas page to provide you with topic-specific worksheets and videos designed to help in historically-challenging courses here at UNF. Each worksheet has multiple practice problems to work through that start off easy but get more and more advanced to questions similar to what you might see on an exam.
Worksheets are available for the following courses:
- Business: Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Business/Econ Statistics, Operations Management
- Biology: Biology 2, Genetics
- Chemistry: General Chemistry 1 & 2, Organic Chemistry 1 & 2
- Civil Engineering: (General topics)
- Physics: Intro to Physics, Calculus Physics 1 & 2, Algebra Physics 1
Individual Appointments
One-on-one guidance is available for students looking for new techniques and strategies through the Peer Coaching program.
