Question About College Level Help

  • Thread starter Dagenais
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation is about whether the College Level Help board is necessary and if the people on the board are qualified to help college and graduate students. The original poster believes there is already enough help in universities and doubts the effectiveness of the board. However, the other person in the conversation believes that the board is necessary and that there are qualified individuals, including PhD students, who can provide help. They also mention the potential benefits of seeking help from a PhD student rather than a busy full-professor.

I don't think the College Level Help board is neccesary.

Their is enough help in University, and I doubt they would find help here.

During the school year, we get plenty of college level questions here.

and I doubt they would find help here.

I taught university level physics for 4 years. Don't you worry, I can handle it.

Yes. There are people here with PhD's, and I am close to that level myself (I just have to finish my thesis). I could teach any core graduate physics course.

And sometimes it's easier to understand from a PhD student you don't see face to face than from a full-professor you only get to ask one question as he's very busy...
