The conversation there reminds me of a depressing chat with a student two years ago. She was in my Honors Calculus class and was struggling (by her terms) with a low B average. She was used to an A everywhere (she’s at U Penn now) and she asked for a conference. She said to me “I thought that my job as a math student was to know which formula to use and how to use it. That’s not working in your class.” I was sad for her and frustrated with my colleagues. She was allowed to succeed – over and over – with that attitude. She adjusted and learned and grew and performed well in my class. I was happy to see her grow, but I don’t think that I’ll ever forget that conversation.
