> Then I got an email 1.5 hours before the class from the professor saying that he was going to come to the section and he told me some class material he wanted me to go over!!

> I freaked when I got that email. But I went to another girl in the lab and we worked out the quesitons he wanted me to go over and It ended up ok. I was asked several things I didn't know. I feel stupid. I knew them once, but forget everything. I don't know....

> Thanks for all the support everybody! It really helped. I think this is one of the scariest things I've ever done.I think that you are to be applauded for doing it! Sounds as if you handled the last minute stuff and marched on!
"Brownie" points with students are easily won by "hmmmmm, I don't know" and "can anyone else help me to answer the question?".....I found that they respect that you're honest and that you trust them to help you.
