It All Makes Sense

Why do we even say this? Students are learning the material, so they almost certainly don’t understand it. We need to be careful with the implicit standards we set.

Meetings

I wonder if we could compress meetings to about half their time without losing significant information?

Myth of Grades

As much as it might seem like it at times, I promise you that there are other things that matter than grades.

Aspirations

We tend to have a lot of hopes for our breaks, but we often end up retreating to our favourite (non-work-related) activities.

Abuse of Notation

No one will ever find this confusing, I’m sure of it!

Expert Opinion

“And I thought they were insightful!”

Commutative Line

I think we get too comfortable with commutativity in our early mathematical education.

Technological Advancements

“Engineering doesn’t quite work like that…”

“Yes it does! Your job is to build my crazy ideas, and maybe get some credit for it later. Don’t you want that?”

The Benefit of Tutoring

Helping others makes it all worth it.

Lab Experiments

Anyone who has taken lab classes with me will relate.
