I will occasionally check the VOH. It is more an opportunity for the class to answer eachother's questions. Please take advantage of this resource.

Tutoring: There are various free tutoring options at your disposal and I encourage all of you to take advantage of them.

*Student Math Center @ MS 3974, re-open on Wednesday, January 9, 2008.
Hours: Monday through Thursday, 09:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

*Covel Tutorials (must sign up at the beginning of the quarter; it's free)
