Week 1

First few lectures into the course, i was surprised at how similar everything is to 165. Thankfully, the rigid proof structure is not needed. Thats where i use to loose most of my marks. I'm glad that the course load is not that much, a contrast to what friends tell me about their experiences.

The tablet PC teaching method is awesome. Makes me want to get a tablet.

Just finished the first problem set, it was easy enough i think, and am planning to visit the office hours to check if i'm on the right track. I'm a bit nervous for assignment 1, but i think with all the office hours i should do ok.

Frankly, I was dismayed by having to keep a slog throughout the course. I have never kept a blog before. After talking to some people about it, who told me that i would come to appreciate it towards the end of the semester, it has peaked my curiosity.

SLOGs are strange. I coerce you into keeping one, and I claim you'll probably appreciate it. I know I find them useful (the ones I read, I mean), but I can't prove my students find them useful.
