<p>..no, but in all seriousness, I don't tutor because that'll ruin the curve.</p>

<p>No, that was a joke, too. </p>

<p>It irks me to no end when you've worked so hard synthesizing the material(from drawing diagrams, to color-coding, to reading each chapter painstakingly 3 times, to googling relevant references online..), and people just expect you to dumb-down the concepts and spoon-feed them the material, and worst of all, the answers.</p>

<p>Heck, don't tell me you're desperate 5 in the morning and the 10 page problem set is due in 6 hours. Grow up.</p>

<p>I'm getting so tired of explaining myself to slackers that I'm finding myself telling people with a straight face that I don't tutor because that'll ruin the curve. People take it as a joke, and it alleviates the painful truth.</p>

<p>Point taken, but you’re doing yourself a ton of good by explaining that stuff to people. You’ll learn it much better, trust me.</p>

<p>Sure, you def. learn the material better if you have to sit down and teach it to others. But it’s just not worth it at 5am or the day before though. Especially when it’s clear the other people didn’t put in half as much work as you. And after you’ve already spent hours on it, maybe spending hours more isn’t the best use of your time…even if it does soldify the concepts, it’s not like you don’t have other classes/other hw to do.</p>
