Planning Ahead
Today I wrote the final exam for one of my classes (the exam is a touch over two weeks away). I also made the review sheet.
I went to Target and considered buying $5 flash drives for my TAs for the fall to keep their course-related stuff on (grade spreadsheets, etc.). I thought more about the logistics of the large-lecture calculus I'm teaching in the Fall. How to structure the course in a way so that the students learn and the TAs are happy? If I keep teaching this course, I want the good TAs to ask for my class.
What I'm saying in class tomorrow? Not nearly as interesting to think about.
