Lecture 2

It went much better, but now I'm horribly behind. I do have a group of responsive students, and had success in student interaction. But maybe I went too slowly...only go as far as the rowspace (and not even finished it) when I planned to do columnspace and nullspace as well. Hopefully things will pick up quickly.

After class, got a bunch of students clamouring for my attention. Most of them just want signatures to get them into class, which is quick. One girl demanded to know answers to her questions without thinking through them herself, which was annoying. One guy asked questions about assignment 0, and eventually took almost an hour to finish. But that's good, though, at least he's willing to learn about the processes in linear algebra. He found me today again while I was sleeping in my office...oops.

The squeaky blackboard thing is still very annoying. I fixed the bad statement from last time, and added that I checked quest and found two people dropped the course already...oops.
