Grrr

In my first class this morning, I spent an hour at the blackboard, solving a problem in front of the class, answering questions, and trying to figure out what the heck I was doing. It was interesting, sure, but it's exhausting (at 8am) and I didn't get notes on any of it. In my second class, we should have reviewed for Wednesday's test. Instead, we blazed through the formula for changing variables and its lengthy proof. This way, he can squeeze it onto the test even though we haven't done a single problem with it, except the special case of polar & cylindrical coordinates. Terry "the Locomotive" Gaffney is the only prof I've ever had who can write faster on the board than I can write in my notes, and it makes for a nightmare of a class!
