I have had many teachers who are difficulty to understand. For example, I had one that pronounced "valence electrons" as "violence electrons". It took me half the period to put the term in context. In the mean time I missed the point of the lecture.

Now with the advent of SIRI, there must be technology that could test enunciation. Should teachers be required to pronounce words from their field into a testing device and receive a diction score?

At a minimum they would know the words that students might have trouble understanding. Maybe they would be kind enough to write them on the board the first time they use them?

What is the period of sin nx + sin mx ?

What is the standard off position? The switch to the left or to the right,

I have a new female beagle puppy. She was rescued from a shelter. She is playful, active, but also likes to sit on my lap as I type on the computer. She is on the smaller side less than 20 lbs. She is curious. Uncharacteristically quite.

I was able to write this: cos²β + cos²(π/2-β)=1 because I cut and pasted it from another problem. How was the person able to do superscripts and Greek letters?

Could you give me a reference or explain how to do this?

If not too much trouble could you do this for a PC and for the MAC?

Thank you.

I live in a dorm. I long-board to Safeway and pick up snacks for the week (jerky, cookies, popcorn). I put them in my closet. (It cannot be locked). When I come back from class, some if it is gone. Since we lock our room, I strongly suspect that my roommate sneaks snacks for himself when I am away.

Can you give me some advice on how to deal with this?

Punching him out or poisoning this food are not options.
