helpline
I always find it hilarious looking at the discussion board of our courses, most of the time it was the same thing over and over again. That is why i seldom login to have a look.

Here are some examples of what to expect from the discussion board:

EG 1:

"MIssed classes and notes
Foluo kereolu (fkreo) at 11/6/2008 1:07 PM

Hey, I haven't been feeling good, almost a week and had to miss some classes. If anyone could help with the missed notes, I'd really appreciate it.Thank you"

EG 2:

"missed lectures week of nov1st
Korad Karak (kolk) at 11/18/2008 6:51 PM

hi guys,i was sick on the week of the first of this month i was wondering if anyone could send me the notes?"

EG 3:

notes? original, i know
Jennifer Wur (jwur) at 11/4/2008 11:44 AM

Hey, I have been pretty sick for a little over a week now, and while I was able to make it to last Tuesday's class, I was unfortunately unable to make it to either Thursday's or today's class. Would anyone mind sending me their notes or even just filling me in on what I missed? I hate asking this, but I know just missing one day in this class can put you a little behind:S Thanks so much,Jenn"

You all get the point.

I dont think ntu discussion board will ever be made use for this. Even if someone spam the board for help, no one will respond. We wouldnt be bother to look at the discussion board in the first place.
Was rather skeptical when i first saw the post and didnt expect anyone to reply. Its human nature right? the guy who post is not your friend, and didnt request for your help directly. Why would anyone be bothered to help? And of cos the rat race thingy (if i help you and you score well).

Nonetheless, it appears that the people here are quite a helpful bunch.

And we can get response like:

Luckily for you, Dr. Holmes made notes that were quite complete. The 'Complex Designs' lectures are what we started today. I added some small things here and there, but you should get the gist of it by looking over the lecture notes.
Today we started at the beginning and went up to Two main effects and an interaction term. Then we skipped some pages and finished off with Within' subjects designs. If after looking over the notes you need to be filled in on something, post it up and maybe myself or some of the others will tune you in.
Hope you're feeling better!
Josh"

I definitely hope there will be helpline for me when i get back to ntu... haha
