Teaching

Name: Anonymous 2005-08-30 0:10

I got hired by my univ (gatech) to tutor math/science/cs/english/stuff

How do I explain stuff like Moment Generating Functions, Maxwell's Laws, Keplar's Law, MPDFs, Huffman Trees, and all that shit to girls that barely understand the first week of calculus?  =\

You should rape them all instead. They'll love it, and say you're the best tutor ever.

...ignore the guy above me.
I'll start by saying I've only taken two quarters of non-calculus physics, and that I had to look up the laws you described to be reminded of what they were about, that said...

my best advice would be to describe the concepts and give some examples of where the physical laws are derived from and how they apply to everyday situations (or at least give a few examples)  once they have that down, THEN I would try giving them the equasions and have them try a few problems.

I couldn't find what a MPDF was, so can't help there.

as for huffman trees, you'll probibly have to explain coding from the ground up, THEN explain the trees.

gl, hope that helps at all.

You can't.  Just ogle the cute, young college babes. 

Unless they're like the one chick I tutored who only had half a mouth worth of good teeth.  Ugh.  I never realized how important a healthy smile was until I met her.

In that case, you're being paid to pretend to care about the students' progress.  So start pretendin'.

One week on the job, and wow.  Dumb jocks.  Older than me.  And confused stupid girls.  Oh, and nothing cute about "waaaa i don't understand calculus explain what a limit is omg".  All the cute ones are teaching themselves at the library.

Your standards are too high.  Remember, they're eye candy.  Not ear candy and *certainly* not mind candy.

/has never dated a girl who didn't end up understanding basic calculus.

Sorry, I browse /s/, so naturally it's a bit higher.  *shrug*  Guess I just have to keep working the job another few weeks.

VIPmancy.

Yeah, so after working this job for a month, I like it.  I have fun, I've set myself up with convenient hours, and I meet lots of cool people (sometimes I end up learning stuff) and meeting HOT DUMB GIRLS FUCK YEAH.

HOT DUMB GIRLS
That's actually good: they're hot, and they're easier to lay as they are dumb, so it's a good combination.

Don't change these.
