Frequently Asked Questions by Math
140 Students
·
When is the next
test?
o
Friday, February
23, 2007
·
Why do I have to
show my work?
o
Because the
instructor cannot read your mind and she needs to know you understand the
problem and are not just guessing at the answer or copying from the back of the
book.
·
What if I miss a
test?
o
You better have a
really good excuse and documentation to back it up (doctor’s note, funeral
program, etc.)
o
Contact your
instructor immediately to alert her of the situation within 24 hours of the
test (via email is best)
o
Together, you and
your instructor, will decide on a new time to take the test, within a day or
two of the original exam because the instructor won’t pass the tests back until
make-ups are done.
·
What do I do if
I’m lost and don’t understand what is going on in class?
o
Ask a friend in
the class for help
o
Go to the math
help room (MTWR 9:00-4:00, F 9:00-3:00 in Carver 385)
o
Talk to your
instructor; she can help you formulate questions, figure out where you got
lost, and explain things in different ways, but she can’t read your mind.
·
What if I want to
talk to my instructor, but I can’t come during her office hours?
o
See her before or
after class
o
Email her
o
Slip a note under
her door

office and see if she’s available; link to her schedule is above
