Ahh, what a relief to be done. I felt a bit overwhelmed this year. Once that feeling sets in, I don't have much energy for being creative. But the semester is over, the grades are pretty much turned in, and just like every year, I've already started thinking about what I'd like to do in my classes this fall. Two are repeats from this semester, and will get some small tweaks. The third class, Pre-calculus, is one I haven't taught for a few years, so I'm looking for lots of good material for it. Those RISPs I mentioned yesterday are a great starting point. But I'll be hunting for more.
I also got this crazy idea a few weeks ago that I'd like to put out a weekly math gazette, with copies available in our department each Monday. I've been working on the first issue today. There's so much I want to tell new students each semester, and I thought this would be a fun format for all that. In between planting a few flowers and veggies, I put this first draft together. What do you think?
(Yes, most of it repeats things I've written here, but I feel pretty confident there aren't many of my new students reading my blog.)
