Abstract

Abstract: The Math Clinic at the Centre for Foundation Studies, IIUM, offers additional support for students in the Statistics subject. Understanding students’ perceptions of this support service is important for improving its effectiveness. This study aims to evaluate students’ perceptions of the Math Clinic’s effectiveness, including the quality of tutoring, the learning environment, and the impact on their statistical understanding and academic achievement. A quantitative approach was used, with a survey administered to 79 students from various courses who attended the Math Clinic during Semester 3, session 2023/2024. Descriptive Statistics, including mean scores and standard deviations, were used to analyse the data, and inferential Statistics were employed to explore differences based on demographic variables using SPSS 28.0. The findings showed that students generally had positive perceptions of the Math Clinic, reporting high satisfaction with the tutors and the learning environment. Majority of students felt that the Math Clinic positively affected their understanding of Statistics and their academic performance. The study concludes that the Math Clinic is seen as a valuable resource for Statistics students.
