Other Information

During the quarter I meet with my students in early morning help sessions.  We meet several times a  week to work on the most recent mathematics topics we have covered in class.  I do not lecture, and in fact, I do not participate much.  I serve as the conduit for knowledge that the students in attendance already possess.  We start out by asking if anyone has questions on a particular topic and go from there.  The students work problems at the board, all their work being very visible.  When I find a mistake, I tell them so, and it is their job to find it. They may use all the resources at hand, including fellow students.  If a student is totally lost, I find the student who is farthest ahead in the solution and send them to rescue the struggling cohort.  It is an atmosphere that is infectious.  It is a way to steal several hours a week from my students so that they can be in a setting where mathematics is being done and talked about freely.  Just ask one of my students about it.,
