Campus Safari #1 Meet With Professor


            Because this week I had my math midterm I wanted to make sure I was prepared. I emailed my professor, Michaela Alexandru (alexandrum1@southernct.edu) , and asked if she would be able to stay after class with me Monday and go over a few problems I had gotten stuck on the practice midterm exam. Normally, her office location is in Engleman in room C 210 from 11:05-11:55am on Wednesdays and Fridays. I was glad she was able to fit me in because the midterm was on Tuesday, if I waited go to her office hours it would’ve been too late. While I met with her I asked her questions about how to solve a particular word problem using the quadratic equation. I also had her explain a graphing problem to me that I wasn’t sure how to do. I’m glad I took the initiative to ask for extra help because I felt a lot more prepared then I would’ve been while taking the exam. 

I have included a picture of the math problem my professor helped me solve:
