not have to go off campus to suc
ceed in class.”
But Milford also said that if
off-campus tutoring services
are truly teaching students,
they are a beneficial challenge
to the faculty.
“In a sense, they make us on
campus do a better job,” he
said. “They make us realize we
have a little competition; it
keeps us on our toes.”
Milford said he doubts, though,
that off-campus tutoring is pro
ducing better-educated students.
“I do think what they have
to offer has been a bit over
sold,” he said.
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.”
