Another one bites the dust...

I've tutored a couple of students who decided to not continue with me, but I think it is the class that is not suited to them more than me.

They had a handout that talked about the domain of a function in very general terms (no mention of avoiding division by zero, or square roots, etc.), but the exercises they had about domains were very specific (yep, we had to handle division by zero, square roots, and more exotic stuff). To put it differently, the exercises they had required much more facility with the material than the class handout they showed me.

Nominally, I was tutoring Calculus, but the material they had (both the handout and the exercises) felt like a revision that reached back to Algebra. And they were not completely at ease with this. 😬

I can't imagine what's going to happen if they stay in this Calculus class and start having to deal with limits, etc.

I should note that this is pretty rare that I get students who present me with a case like this. (Even though, I've just had a similar case with SAT. It is still rare.)
