mathematically on paper."
The greatest use of the Internet on campus
comes from students and professors e-mailing each
other.
"In math, the e-mail system helps because
students can write the problem out," Meade said.
"This helps the students to better formulate their
questions."
"E-mail is a great way to improve student-to-faculty
contact," Brown said.
Professors can often reply to e-mail faster than
phone messages, due to the fact that several
instructors check and reply to their e-mail from
home at night.
Student opinion on the use of the Internet for class
varies. (
"It's a convenient and wonderful resource for
those who know how to navigate the network,"
freshman Patrick Mills said. "One major problem,
however, is that I have several friends who don't
know how to operate the software."
Brandi Martin, a sophomore journalism major,
used the Internet for taking quizzes in her English
102 class last spring.
"It was convenient to take the quizzes over the
