Physics Help Centre
Welcome to the Physics Help Centre located in room 107 Allen. We provide free tutoring services to students in first-year physics classes. Our dedicated tutors will be happy to help you with lecture material, assignment problems and exam preparation, and give you expert problem-solving strategies to take forward in your learning. The Physics Help Centre also hosts “Exam Cram Sessions” where our tutors help you solve exam-like problems before your midterms and finals. This centre is run by the Organization of Physics Undergraduate Students (OPUS), a student-run group at the University of Manitoba.

Cram sessions
Before midterm and final exams, OPUS offers a 2 to 4-hour session in which OPUS members will provide full solutions to a premade problem set containing exam-like questions. Our problems come from past exams and textbooks, and many have been created by OPUS. Cram sessions will be held in room 107 Allen (the same as our help centre) and pizza will be provided! All proceeds go towards OPUS events and the OPUS bursary.
Instructions on registration and ticket prices for the cram sessions will be posted here.
