Servic e is free to students. We hope you won't have any, but just in case, here are a few strategies. General problems concerning instructors which cannot be resolved privately should be directed to the appropriate Departmental office as indicated above. In particular, any case of un professional attitudes or actions by an instructor or grader should be reported immediately. In many cases the UMPO can serve as an intermediary to help get the problem resolved quickly.
