I hope all had a great long weekend. Happy Thanksgiving. I was wondering how everyone's first month went with the new Math 20-2 course.
What worked well for you and your class?
What definately needs revision?
What topics were difficult to teach?
What topics were difficult for students?

We did Chapter 8, 2 and then 3. Students seemed to grasp the "real-world" applications of chapter 8 pretty naturally. The reasoning skills demanded by chapter 2 (completing proofs) required a lot of coaching-- these are difficult skills for adults! The students also struggled with explaining a proof (chapter 3) but through repetition, repetition, repetition, they got there.
Anyone else?
