Frequently Asked Questions by Math
140 Students
·
When is the next
test?
o
Wednesday, September
12th
·
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.
·
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 (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.

talk to my instructor, but I can’t come during her office hours?
