Computational Assistance And Tutorial Session (CATS)
We are a group of GSBS post-candidacy quantitative science graduate students that have voluntarily offered to help GSBS students that seek to include some quantitative science in their own research.
CAT Session
As student volunteers, we will do our best to select appropriate mathematical tests, help design scientific studies, identify proper software and techniques, and interpret results. These scheduled meetings between GSBS students will not exceed 30 minutes unless mutually agreed upon by both parties. As such, these meetings are intended to serve as consultations and quantitative science students are not expected to perform any of the previously mentioned analyses. The goal of this session is to assist rather than conduct analyses. Analysis completed by the quantitative science student volunteer is at the discretion of the student and the student’s mentor.
Who can request a meeting
These meetings are restricted to GSBS students only. Due to the small pool of student volunteers, we are limited by our own time and resources. Students will be limited to request one meeting per month, but should feel free to contact the student volunteer with any follow up questions from the session.
Contact
Please contact Amy Carter (Amy.E.Carter@uth.tmc.edu) or Frank Lenoir (Walter.Lenoir@uth.tmc.edu), for any questions regarding CATS.
