Hi, I was wondering if its possible to move Math 1A03/1LS3/1ZZ5/1M03/1K03 Extra Help one day ahead. There is a psych exam next day first thing in the morning. So i dont think many people will show up from Ls3 and a03.

To mellye: Guess my hands are tied then. :p 5:00 in the Math Cafe? Note that it's only for one hour though...I have to take off approximately 6:00 (which is why I thought it might be better to hold it afterward).
To mcmastergcdb: Unfortunately, because the math exams are spaced so sporadically, that I think Friday would be the most inclusive day (ie. suit the most people). This is because on the one hand, some exams fall fairly early (ie. Math 1X03 is on Friday), but others fall very late. So I had to find a date which optimized how effective the presentation of the material would be.
-The people who have early exams, naturally, need to have the session before exams
-The people who have late exams can't have the session too long before their exams because they may forget and/or be unprepared by that point
I was originally going to hold the session at 7:00pm on Friday...but because someone notified me about the Psych exam (and because I have a take-home exam due at midnight that day), I moved it to 10:00am...unfortunate ly, I think this is the best I can do.
If you or anyone else is studying for calc and would like to show up tomorrow, I'm doing a Q&A session for 1X03, but it's not limited to 1X03.

No worries about the one hour thing. If we have more questions, we'll just go crash the 1A03 party
Oh. And I couldn't resist, but is there an integral for that?

But yeah exactly...that's why I only scheduled an hour, since if you remember this was just supposed to be you guys 'dropping in.' :p

And stay 10 past the end.
We didn't cover anything too comprehensive, but I know the things we did cover were kind of tricky...I hope learning about how red + green = blue was helpful.

Just a reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday) I'm holding a "Stats" session from 5-7.
However...I haven't had much demand for it, specifically I've only heard from Bushra (Still interested Bushra?)...who else would be coming?
If there isn't much demand, I'm going to make this a general help session...so people like nessa18 or xo.monica could come and get help with 1K03, etc. or people can come ask about 1B03.

It just occurred to me that I may be a bit late, since I'd likely get some 'after the review session' questions for Math 2A03 (which unfortunately, they're my top priority since I TA the course).
So if I'm like 15, 20 minutes late I likely stayed back to ask some questions...but I will stay a full 2 hours (or more) even if I come late...so if you'd rather come around 5:30 that's ok too.

Sorry for not being able to attend the 1A03 session, Mowicz...I had a history final I had forgotten about.

Does anyone plan to attend Friday's help session? (Linear Algebra)
Unfortunately the demand hasn't been great...ie. no one came to the Stats one xD... so I'm not entirely sure I'd want to hold it.
I think it's pretty much up to Melissa...you've been consistently attending and asked for it, so what are your thoughts? Do you/your colleagues need extra help?
