Two major breakthroughs today. During the lecture I asked my students if they were understanding and a few of them actually said no! Then, at the end of class a student came up to me with his notes from yesterday’s lesson—he didn’t understand where a certain number had come from in one of the examples we had done as a class yesterday. I was floored. He had been studying! Not just doing the homework, but actually looking over his class notes with enough attention to realize he didn’t understand a very specific step in the example. I re-explained the example to him and practically floated out of the classroom.
