The Doctor's Lair

Here I sit, in the learning center waiting for students to come and ask questions. Unfortunately, in the beginning of the term, hardly anyone even turns up to these office hours. The rush time is the right before the exam time when loads of students just pour into the cubicle trying to ask you questions. During those times, I take on a roaming policy as compared to a sitting policy. Instead of them coming to me, I roam around the place to whoever wants to ask questions. Its much more efficient, since if the students have to come to you, they need to pick up loads of stuff and drag it to you. A book, notes, notebook, pencils and a Texas Instruments calculator that looks like a brick(and costs upward of $100). So back to the point, waiting for students. The trick is to get along work to do, it could be a crossword or sudoko, just get something. This is the first thing they teach you at the GSI(Graduate Student Instructor) training.
