Write in English if you can. We aim to reply to anything that needs a reply within three working days; a reported arithmetic error gets looked at the day we read it, because a wrong number on a grade calculator is the one bug worth dropping everything for. The site is run by one person, so a long thread about academic strategy is not something it can offer — see the last bullet below.

What to send

Reporting a wrong number

Corrections are the mail we most want. Arithmetic is checkable, so a report either holds up or does not, and either way it takes minutes rather than argument. Copy this and fill it in:

Here is what happens next. We reproduce it from your inputs. If the page is wrong, the wrong figure becomes a failing assertion in that tool's mirror test before anything is edited, so the corrected number is locked in and the same mistake cannot come back in a later change. If the page is right, we write back with the derivation, and if the confusion was the page's fault rather than yours, the wording gets fixed too. Either way you hear the outcome.

What we cannot do

We cannot tell you whether your instructor will round, whether a D counts for your major, whether to drop a class, or what a school will make of your transcript. Those are decisions with real consequences and they belong to the people who hold the policy — your instructor, your registrar, your advisor. Every page on this site says the same thing in a box near the bottom, and this page is where the site says it directly.
