> What kind of math are you studying?
Remedial...
This is intermediate algebra. It's the full semester in six weeks, and there are parts I just don't get, partly because my elementary algebra lecturer was so very bad. I barely held on in that class, and ended up feeling pretty pathetic. This class builds a lot on that stuff.
Mostly, my problem is with graphing. I think if I could get that part, I'd be on the road to doing OK.
Then again, we're talking about three hours per day, four days per week, for six weeks, with one comprehensive final, two midterms, and 20 (!) quizzes... That's pretty intense, at least for me.

> And what's math lab? I don't remember having that.The school has a math tutoring center, or math lab, where we can go and get help with our homework. I do a lot of homework there, although don't usually ask for help. (Yeah, I know...) It's a pretty OK place to sit for a couple of hours and work on math. And it helps me to work in there, because there are fewer distractions. And I don't have quite as much inclination to wander off...
Thanks for responding, Jost. It's kinda lonely here in the summer, ain't it?
