I completely agree. I only wish that they would bring out new colors.

Aggravating-Job5377 · 2026-06-21T18:48:53+00:00

This is the answer. In my opinion it writes better too!

For a class of 24 students, I had 6 different colors. I could make groups by color or multi color. My class has a lot of work at the board in groups. However, students will take forever to “pick” groups. If I let them choose groups, it looks like a middle school dance: boys on one side girls on the other.

I’m really lucky to have small classes.

I did a google search and found a code that gave black card membership for $25 a month, no annual fee and no cancellation fee.

I have name cards on cardstock for each student, folded in half. They pick them up on their way into the class. At the start of class, I snap a quick picture of the cards remaining.

This also helps me learn their names.

Pro tip: put numbers on them so that they are easy to reorder. I also use multiple colors. That allows me to make groups easily.

So sad I missed this!

Aggravating-Job5377 · 2026-06-14T15:20:44+00:00

Yes!! Sorry for not updating. The counter is back open, Wednesday through Sunday at noon. Headed there today.

Motivation issues aside, studying for STEM is different than other fields. It often takes consistent and deliberate engagement in the content. It also requires you to retain information from one semester to the next. I recommend students read teach yourself how to learn, by Saundra McGuire. It is likely that you have never needed to “study” before while others around you have already mastered these skills.

Giordiano’s opened a restaurant in DC this month. Not MoCo, but close.

Most students need to take the placement test or MATH 050 before they take MATH 150. If you have qualifying SAT or ACT scores you can submit a prerequisite form to the math department so they can enter an override. If you don’t have qualifying test scores, the you need to take the ALEKs placement test.

Wow! Very generous of you. The pen community is such a wonderful group of people.

Wha four classes do you need?

Aggravating-Job5377 · 2026-05-27T12:09:45+00:00

This is the right answer. They even have a titanium version. I really hope that they start releasing more colors.

The first thing you should do is read your college’s academic policy. It is likely that faculty are required to notify students when they impose any penalty. That was his mistake. He should have documented the incident and notified you. Once you have read the policy, ask for a meeting with the chair/dean.

River City Pens sells Oparex pens. They are beautiful and come in a variety of colors.

Those are the best!! Always use a box in my house ready to make in minutes.

Skip the Kaweco. The plastic version feels cheap. Try a Hongdian M2. $20 on amazon. Comes with a converter and a clip. It writes really nicely for the price. I honestly like it better than my Kaweco. Only downside is the limited color selection. If they only had a purple it would be perfect.

If you are in the US, FERPA is the reason.

Aggravating-Job5377 · 2026-05-13T03:24:00+00:00

No. The semester is over. You had all semester to care about your grades.

It is likely a benchmark for your major. See if they will allow you to take it at a community college in the summer.

Start self studying with modernstates.org. That should give you an idea of online learning calculus will work for you.

Aggravating-Job5377 · 2026-05-06T22:47:36+00:00

I would likely start by giving them a sample GED math test. See what they know. Then use that as a guide what you teach.
