Female student: How’s the calculus class going? You’re doing better?
Male student: Not really. I just can’t get the hang of it. There are so many functions and formulas to memorize, you know? And the final…it’s only a few weeks away. I’m really worried about doing well.
F: Oh…You know, you should go to the tutoring program and ask for help.
M: You mean, in the Mathematics building?
F: Ya. Get a tutor there. Most tutors are doctoral students in the math program. They know what they’re talking about, and for the final test, you know, they’d tell you what to study, how to prepare, all of that.
M: I know about the program…but doesn’t it cost money?
F: Of course. You have to register and pay by the hour…but they’ve got all the answers.
M: Hmm…
F: Another option, I guess, is to form a study group with other students. That won’t cost you any money.
M: That’s a thought…although once I was in a study group, and it was a big waste of time. We usually ended up talking about other stuff like what we did over the weekend.
F: But that was for a different class, right? I’ve actually had some pretty good experiences with study groups. Usually, students in the same class have different strengths and weaknesses with the material…if they’re serious about studying, they can really help each other out. Think about it.
