Week Three

In this week of class we went over concepts related to disjunction, negation and Sets. This week we started to veer in a different direction of MAT137, which is nice but I anticipate will cause difficulty in the future. I am excited to see the direction this course will take. It seems right down my alley and getting more and more interesting each lecture. Larry’s enthusiasm bolsters the students’ attentions and causes most people to stay interested, but sometime a few students struggle with grasping certain concepts and when they ask the professor they still struggle even when the professor explains. I think sometimes Larry could be more thorough with questions he is given, and make sure the students fully understand what he is trying to portray. Or the students should just study after the lecture to make sure they understand.

Our tutorial this week was a lot better than the last. We were given a more difficult worksheet and concept to understand and it caused the class discussion to be a lot more in depth. The tutorial worked really well when everyone contributed to the discussion and it wasn’t based around the T.A teaching but rather using our classmates to feed off of and share ideas with. The environment was great because it felt like nobody was afraid to ask questions, and when they did it sparked discussion that helped everyone better understand the topic.
