useful for clearing up little things i have been wondering, i haven't tried a major question yet, so yeah i think it's good. it's good to know there is someone u can ask if u can't contact ur teacher.

It's OK. Honestly, it's NOT the best advice that I've been given. Depending on the adviser you get, you will get different levels of answers and depth.

I found that they relies on the use of text book, rather than giving you what they know. But then again, it's more safer this way. However, Why would we need to ring if they are going to read from the text book? isn't it better to answer with knowlegde and depth?

yeah but sometimes people can't understand the text and so this allows it to be explained to them

I didn't find them particularly useful as half of the time they ended up agreeing with what I said. It was like, "Why did that happen?" "Hmmm... Yes. You are right."
:confused:

maybe I just have really bad luck at getting the operators.

The advisor says sorry i don't know that, call after 7pm when the advisors switch over.

Pathetic................

I agree. i am going back to my teachers tomorrow ;)
I realise that it's not that they are not helpful, it's just that they are telling you things that you already know (as someone has said earlier, from the text books)
