| Physics Help at Waubonsee |
| Waubonsee's Learning Enhancement Center provides free walk-in assistance for students enrolled in any Waubonsee physics course. The staff may be able to help with assignments at times when your instructor is unavailable, or to give an alternative explanation of a concept that you did not understand in class or in the textbook. A schedule of help sessions is posted each semester. |
