Introduction
When a question of a pedagogical nature is sent to the tutor via messaging, the general rule is to transfer the message to a chat room.
However, there may be exceptions. Here is one example of this: The tutor chooses to offer personal support to a student who is discouraged.

Assignment 2
|
I can’t do assignment 2. I got a good mark in the 1st assignment (93%), but I don’t understand anything. Fred |
Re: Assignment
2
|
Hello. Ask me a specific question and I’ll give you some references related to the question. Paula |
Re: Re:
Assignment 2
|
I’m hopeless. I cant ask any questions. The book sucks. Everything sucks in this course. I’m stuck and I’m dropping everything. Fred |
Re: Re: Re: Assignment
2

Hello,
Too bad you’re stuck. You think that the reference material is not good; I’m surprised, but I guess that doesn’t help you! This part is a review of the high school program that maybe you didn’t do! You don’t have to do the WHOLE chapter. Actually, the subject matter on logarithms is summarized in a few pages. Ask me some specific questions, from the textbook pages. I’ll do everything I can to help you. It’s no use looking for somebody to blame because of your difficulties. There’s only one goal to attain: To pass the course. If you want to try again, I can probably find ways to help you. I’m waiting for some specific questions from you. Paula |

I’m dropping everything
|
Sorry. I don’t have time to do all my assignments. Too many things happening. I’m gonna drop the whole thing. Fred |
Re: I’m
dropping everything
|
Hello,
If it’s just because you don’t have enough time, ask Cégep@distance for an extension so you can finish your learning. Paula |
Re: Re: I’m dropping
everything
|
Sorry. I can’t do
anything. I can’t think. I suck.

Re: Re: Re: I’m

Hello,
The additional activities are introduced in the workbook on this course site. Just ask me a specific question and I will refer you to the activity that goes with it. Concerning the deadline, call HYPERLINK mailto:Cégep@distance Cégep@distance. Which problem (in the textbook) is it that you can’t do? Paula |

Assignment 3F and other
|
I can’t do No. 8.
Fred |
Re: Assignment
3 F, No. 8.
|
a) In your textbook, you
have the graph of y = f(x) = ln(x)
This is the same kind of graph as for Number 8. Observe a point… Concerning the document you referred to, please tell me the step you do not understand. Paula |
Re: Re:
Assignment 3 F, No. 10.
|
We’ve been writing
to each other a lot. How are you? I understand better now. I can’t
do No. 10.
Fred |
Re: Re:
Re: Assignment 3 F, No. 10.
|
Good evening,
I’m fine, thanks. How about you? Could it be you’re feeling better! For No. 10, they are not asking you to produce the graph because it’s complicated and it doesn’t go with the notions of this course. What you wrote concerning this graph is very good and sufficient (according to the question). I trust that you can do it. I feel that you’re going to pass this course. Hang in there! Paula |

Continued… Assignment
4
|
Hi,
Hi Mrs. Préfontaine!!! Are you doing well after the well deserved holiday… myself, I feel re-energized, especially after getting the good news I got this morning… I’m so happy about my mark because I was ready to drop the whole thing so many times. Thanks for the help you gave me and all the encouragement. You’re a good teach. CU!!! Tks again, Fred |
Re: Continued…
Assignment 4
|
Hi,
Your message is "re-energizing" for me too. There aren’t that many people who express their feelings and their satisfaction. Thank you. When do you plan to do your exam? Paula |
Re: Re:
Continued… Assignment 4
|
Hello Mrs. Préfontaine,
I’m glad to know that my feelings and my satisfaction energize you too. You know, this course is not easy and I think that without your help and encouragement, I would have given up… but it is not the case and this is the reason why I wanted to mention it to you. I imagine, as you say, that it doesn’t happen often, but I’m sure that the other students think like me except that they’re not that used to showing a little bit of gratitude toward those who help us… they tell themselves that’s her job and she’s well paid for it… me, I think that it goes further than that and I’d like to thank those who helped me… Fred |

Final examination
|
At last, the final examination,
I don’t know when I’m going to do it. The sooner the better
because I don’t want to waste time. But this reply slip business
seems kinda complicated… Will I be getting it by snail mail? The
sheet that I can use to write everything I want before the examination,
is it a sheet that your gonna send to me or do I have one in my own
things? So this is it, I’m going to go for the examination at
Garneau as soon as all my items are in place… and I’m finally
going to get my damn diploma…(excuse the language)
Have a nice day Mrs. Préfontaine!!! CU!!! Fred |
Re: Final
examination
|
Hello Fred,
Thanks again! Concerning the examination, here is some information. You will soon be receiving a letter from Cégep@distance, or, via messaging (I’m going to find out). You will have a slip to fill out to indicate your choices. I’m not sending you a “crib” sheet for the examination. You’re the one who is writing… everything you want! Keep up the good work! See you, Paula |
