Cyndy Hartberg, owner of The Quantum Cow, an off-campus tu toring service, said chemistry de partment members have inter fered with her business. “We have professors that are helpful and some that aren’t,” Hartberg said. “We’ve had major problems with the chemistry de partment. We’ve had to license our materials so the chemistry department can’t use them.” Hartberg said faculty mem bers obtained copies of solution manuals sold by her establish ment in order to compare them with problems they were as signing students. The purpose of the solution manuals, Hartberg said, is to teach students to systematically solve problems, not to provide them with easy answers. Solution guides to even-num bered problems are available for most chemistry textbooks. Hart- berg’s manual provides solutions to the odd-numbered ones. Hartberg said that though The Quantum Cow licenses all its ma terials, prohibiting students from taking credit for the handouts, some students are inevitably go ing to break the rules. “We understand that some students are going to do that,’ she said, “but we feel like we are being picked on. There are more people cheating from each other than from us.” Since these conflicts Hartberg said chemistry sors have increased the difficulty of homework and quizzes, lab quizzes a higher percentage of final grades, and stopped return ing graded labs to students. These tactics have increasei the demand for tutoring, Hart berg said, because students are panicking. “We’ve actually started selling more since they’ve starting what they’re doing,” she said. “They are punishing the students, and that makes me mad. “They are just completely uncooperative. It’s one or tv: professors who are blowing out of proportion.” CH Cubs h power- on a tv disclos |g the The lion fo $5.9 rr for arb with ar Sos runs ar the tea bases, player than 3 30 bas Sos the C March go Wh So: with ( awa itii Castilf Phil All- pi- Philat four-t Santi worth Th also ’ cates Daull surgf catch St game seasi RBIs catd cent; he h wou Fir br Sievi worf in thi Worl II smas: in Nc pean nativ Attention Aggie Business Leaders!
