Does anybody know any good (preferably free) boolean algebra programs? The
more the program does the better (I am a student wanting to check my work.)
Thankyou

Interesting theory on how tutoring is supposed to work.
Unfortunately, it tends not to happen that way.
Tutor is usually a post grad student paid a pittance for enormous
classes.

I was in an engineering class once where the tutors passed everyong who
handed in a copy of last years assignment and failed everyone who said
it doesn't work (lab practical), even though they knew that was the
situation. The lecturer was worse.
 
Yes I can understand why you would need to do that, I looked at it many
years ago, and I ............

just how confusing are you getting in to Boolean algebra ?

I got the following table from
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Projects/Labview/boolalgebra/
and it looks simple to me and not hard at all.

I thought the idea of being a student was that you did this
sort of stuff yourself in order to learn the basics? Isn't your
tutor supposed to check your work and then the two of
go over areas you're weak on in order that you can

With current uni resources being the way they are
you rarely get 1 to 1 tutoring at best 1 to 15 or 20
some subjects 1 to 50 for a tutorial class.

Its a rare subject (for engineering) that has more than 1.5 hours
of tutorials. Usual is 1.5 hours a week per subject + 3 hours of lectures.

Can be hard to check if your correct as a lot of lecturers don't provide
answers
to questions and textbooks usually only have half or less of the answers
to the end of chapter questions.

post grad ? no, usually undergrad who got a distinction or better
when they did the subject

Think that varies from uni to uni.
A pittance if you were only going to tutor as a full time job but
not to bad if your only doing a couple of classes a week
while studying your own subjects.
