Help:
It is essential that you attempt and complete
all assignments in the class. In the process of working the
problems you will develop all the skills that will see you
though college.
For online resources check out my Help
page.
Tutoring:
Office hours. Either during my posted office
hours or by arrangement, you should come to see me for help.
The people in your class know the most about what you are
studying and therefore make the best sources of help. Please
try to find other student in the class to study with and please
come to see me if you have any questions.
The
Learning Center (TLC) is an outstanding resource for tutoring
in all of your classes.
You should visit TLC at the slightest sign of confusion or
just as a place to sit and work in a
supportive environment. The Learning Center staff is well
trained and dedicated solely to your success, so don't waste
this resource!
Tutorials for the TI-83 are
available in the TLC, on DVD (ask me) and online.
