Feedback from first 2 lectures

  • Going too fast in lecture.

  • Too many proofs.

  • Need more motivation/applications.

  • Show R code.

  • How am I supposed to do all these proofs in exam?

My responses:

  • Do less proofs. Prove only the most important results, and do that slowly.

  • Applications will come. But we need to learn the basics first.

  • Final is take home exam: open book.
