Dear Fellows,

As faculty, you represent the face of the college to our students.  Because of this, you may encounter questions from students that lie outside your area of expertise – mathematical content.  We’ll be spending some time on November 17th addressing these kinds of questions, and giving you the resources you need to help direct students most effectively. 

Before Seminar 6 on November 17, please post here on the OpenLab ONE or TWO EXAMPLES of questions you’ve received from students that are *not* directly related to course content (questions about registration, careers, financial aid, bureaucracy, personal problems, etc.) – especially questions you aren’t sure how to answer, or “questions that scare you!”
