There was quite a bit of interest in this for hw1, but the RATS online tutoring system turned out to be ineffective. Very few of the students were able to get effective help, because the bulk of the problems were conceptual, rather than syntactic.
This also goes to show that sometimes you can't win. Tim Hoffman, who is not a part of the course staff for 15-211, offered his own free time for tutoring (without pay or any other recognition). When he decided he wasn't helping anyone, we decided not to offer this again. I hope that this doesn't cause students in 15-211 to believe, incorrectly, that we aren't trying hard to help. |
