Teaching has started …

… and I am utterly enjoying it!Day and evening classes are usually quite full (60 students during the day, 30 in the evening class), but teaching is enjoyable and not too strenuous (now that I have a cold a bit more, but still ok). I try to keep students involved and switch frequently between projector, board and in-class assignments as a help to keep them awake and interested – depending on the content to be taught. E.g. I do all calculations step-by-step on the board in order to be not too fast: I am quite a slow writer on the board, but picking up speed and using the board more efficiently with every new class. Things also got livelier and questions are being asked.I have settled nicely into my schedule, spending Wednesdays and a half-day Friday at Concordia. Getting there is not too bad, although the Metro and the bus are always full. I have finally obtained my key and access to the network/web so that I can be productive during the break between my lectures.
