MISSION COMMUNITY COLLEGE

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

DATE: 23 August 1999

TO: All Math Instructors

FROM: Jeffrey Bunch & Roseanne Cortez /Math Lab

RE: MATH TUTORING

To fail, or not to fail, that is the question:

Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer the trick questions and puzzles, of outrageous exams,

Or to take arms against a sea of polynomials,

And to factor them; to simplify, to solve.

No more, and by formulas, to say we can.

The Heartache of infinite series That Math is here, too?

Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished;

To integrate. to prove, perchance to solve;

Aye there's the rub

For in that cloud of formulas, what derivation may come?

Aye, tis the MATH LAB! For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of students,

The Oppressors? Wrong! The Tutors!

The pangs of depressed over-achievers

Who dare help the wretched dogs of the halls;

Yea, those troubled souls who seek solace

In the dark chambers of numerical formations!

For in the final hours of August; HE will come

Do not fear him.

No harm will be done to those who hear the words of the Champion!

Find him in your own classroom;

He hath flyers, aye, he hath answers for all!
