Wisconsin Emerging Scholars (WES) Program

The Math Department is currently accepting applications for the Wisconsin Emerging Scholars (WES) program for the Spring 2019 semester. We offer special discussion sections for calculus courses which meet for 6 hours a week instead of two (students earn two additional credits for enrolling in a Math 228 WES section). The extra time is not remedial, but gives students time to explore extra and more difficult problems to deepen their understanding of the material. WES students will attend the same lecture as non-WES students, and take the same exams.

We encourage any students who are highly motivated to work hard in their calculus class to apply. This Spring we are offering WES sections for Math 222 and 234, and we will tentatively offer a WES section for Math 221 based on staffing resources and enrollment interest.

Please find more information here, as well as a link to the Google Form to apply for the program (click "how to enroll").
