How to prepare a document for a phone quiz.  A student asks whether phone quizzes provide time to sort through notes to locate the answer.  Another student says to prepare a two-column, one-page document.  Another student says to set up headings and collapse them.  (Another option is to create heading styles throughout a longer document and insert a table of contents with clickable links on the first page.)

Which stats course is best? A student needing a stats course asks whether to take SOCI 301, CMNS 308, or MATH 215.  A student replies that MATH 215 is killing him.  Another student indicated that MATH 216 is more manageable than MATH 215.  Yet another student says that a quick and easy solution is SOCI 301, which is great for social stats, especially when accompanied by YouTube videos.
