sigma at Coventry
sigma is building upon Loughborough and Coventry University’s extensive experience and reputations in the support of thousands of undergraduate and postgraduate students. Students from across the full breadth of these universities, who require some knowledge of mathematical and/or statistical methods to engage fully with their programme of study.
A key aim of sigma is to move the balance from reactive to proactive activities in order to start to address the problems for the mass of students in need. Thus, the primary purpose of sigma is to build upon the established excellence of Loughborough and Coventry University in the field of generic mathematics and statistics support.
sigma aim to effect a culture change amongst staff and students so as to beneficially influence modes of teaching and learning within and beyond the two institutions. For students from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds using mathematics and statistics.
A secondary purpose of sigma is to implement and evaluate innovative teaching and learning approaches using state-of-the-art and emerging technologies, linked to a programme of pedagogic research.
