Why does the Math Department...?

  1. Diagnostic and placement
    1. Place me in MA0902, MA0912, or MA0922, even though I have taken calculus and received AP credit?
  2. Grading
    1. Give out so few A's and B's?
    2. Never curve grades?
    3. Not let my instructor create exams or assign grades for my class?
  3. Homework
    1. Use that #&$%^!@*# web-based homework system?
    2. Assign so many homework problems?
    3. Force me to enter homework answers in the exact form demanded by the homework system?
    4. Not provide answers to homeworks?
  4. Teaching
    1. Not let me just memorize formulas and procedures?
    2. Use textbooks that are so hard to understand?
    3. Not provide more online help?
  5. Other frequently asked questions
    1. How can I graduate in time, if I have to start with MA0902?
    2. I am doing all of the worksheets and homeworks, but I still do badly on the tests. Isn't this unfair?
    3. Where can I get help on doing homework?
    4. Who is in charge?
    5. What is your mailing address?
