… and it is going well. Both sections – day and evening – are fun to teach with slightly different challenges. The day class is quite full with 60+ students and interaction is more limited compared to the evening section, although I try keeping students involved. The evening class with < 30 students feels more cozy and it is easier to ask somebody out to the board to present in class assignment results.About 80% of the time I work on calculations on the board or explain fundamental equations with examples and exercises. That is quite new to me and I am more and more comfortable writing on the board, although I still have trouble sometimes in locating an orthographic error, especially if a student’s comment was rather vague.I now use the slides as a framework with the most important information presented in condensed form. After this initial presentation I go into the details with sample calculations and examples. A parallel presentation as initially planned does not work, because the canvas covers most of the board and I cannot switch between the two without turning off the projector and removing the canvas. The solution that I use now works fine anyway and slides play a minor role anyway, mostly reducing the number of complex drawings.The first graded assignment is out and due next Wednesday – a lot of work ahead with 110 corrections to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
