Mazie is tutoring John in chemistry. At the start one of their regular sessions the conversation
goes like this...
Mazie:
Hi, John!
John:
Hi, Mazie.
Mazie:
How's it going in chem?
John:
Ugh!
Mazie:
Yeah, it's a tough course.
John:
You bet.
Mazie:
Ready to work?
John:
I guess.
Mazie:
Great. Last time we said that
today we'd work on calculating equilibriums. The syllabus says that you should still be in that
part of the course. Is that what you're covering?
John:
Uh huh.
Mazie:
Do you still want to work on that
or is there something else that would be helpful?
John:
Well, I missed last Monday's
lecture, but I xeroxed my friend's lecture notes and I looked at the textbook, so I think I've got it.
There's a big problem set due tomorrow, so I thought we could work on that.
