QSSP consists of two (2) required classes: Introductory Mathematics for Management and Introductory Probability. To successfully complete the program, you must earn a grade of B or better in both QSSP classes. Given the mathematical nature of the courses, we strongly encourage and hope you will attend weekly classes and recitations synchronously, if possible. This will allow you ask questions and make good use of time allocated during class for group work/active participation with your peers. Students should make every effort to attend the live sessions, however if that is not possible (for instance, due to time zone differences), the recordings of classes and recitations will be posted.
QSSP is intensive and students should expect to spend a total of 11 hours/week across the two courses in class and recitations. In addition, students will then spend another 6-12 hours on homework and TA office hours, this time will vary based on your familiarity and comfort with the course content. Please be sure to make the necessary modifications to your work and personal schedules to carve out enough time for QSSP. The summer program moves very quickly and if you fall behind early, it can be difficult to catch up.
Historically, some students who struggled academically in QSSP did so because they did not leave sufficient time to do the course assessments, attend the recitation review sessions, and come to office hours, as needed. Plan time in your schedule to attend class (8 hrs./week); attend recitation (3 hrs./week); and do your coursework, study, and attend office hours (6-12 hrs./week), for a total of ~17-23 hours each week across the two courses.
