| Question: How do I type maths symbols for square or
cube of a term? |

| Question: I can't type very fast. How can I participate and ask
questions in a live chat tutorial session? |
| Answer: Participating
in live chat sessions requires some planning. One good way of effective participation in
live chat sessions is to keep a word processor window open separately and type your
questions and comments there before starting the chat. Now, when you are chatting in a
live window, you only have to cut and paste your comments from the Word window to the chat
window. Of course, you will need to type some comments on the spot. |
