Womack Report

Getting a late start to this class, because the previous class has people still working on a test. Professor handed back the first set of homework. (more…)

Showed up right on time today. We’re getting our first tests back. (more…)

Running late today. In the middle of a constraint problem when I walked in. (more…)

Prof. was late to class today. A person as frequently late as I am shouldn’t be so annoyed by that. But I was never late to a training session I conducted. (more…)

There’s an upshot to the whole starting-at-weird-times my MWF classes have. As long as I keep forgetting that the class starts at 9:10 rather than 9:00, I’m always very early. On the other hand, this works against me for the 1:50 class.

On to the math. (more…)

WordPress has been acting a bit flaky the last couple days. Hopefully that will settle down.

I don’t quite understand yet why my Tuesday-Thursday classes all start at nice, round, on-the-hour times, but my Monday-Wednesday-Friday classes are at weird intervals. You’d think it would be the opposite.

For instance, this morning I showed up for my 9:00 math class, and was five minutes or so ahead of time. Started to open the door, noticed a whole class full of people eanestly plugging away. No problem. At 9:00, however, none of them had left, nor was there any sgn the class was breaking up yet. At this point my brain, ever helpful, suggested that I’d read the clock wrong an was a full hour late, and had missed the whole class. This has happened before.

However, more sane reflection let me remember that this class starts at 9:10, not 9:00. Everything worked out fine. This has not stopped me from thinking of this class as a 9:00 class. (more…)

Section 2.2 Matrix Methods for solving linear equations.

Running too close to late again this morning, but made it in on time. (more…)

Linear equations (more…)

Instructor Tracy Samuel. Young looking professor, not that I’m a good judge of age. Overheard one student saying nice things about her teaching in a previous class, though. That’s encouraging.
