Abstract
![CDATA[BACKGROUND: The Mathematics Education Support Hub (MESH) provides mathematics and statistics support to all students in a variety of ways, including drop-in assistance for students in six campus libraries. MESH keeps records of each consultation including a detailed explanation of the student’s query, the student’s year of study, ID, discipline, the subject that the question is about, approximate duration of the consultation and on which campus the consultation occurred. AIMS: The primary aim of the research presented is to analyse data collected from the drop-in support service to determine students’ mathematics support needs during their degree. This will allow MESH to identify and build resources to assist students with the most common problem areas. A secondary aim is to help academics to improve the curriculum to enhance students’ understanding in these areas for the relevant subjects.]]
