Week of 1/14

This week I had five people come to my office hours, all of whom needed help on the same homework assignment. I was able to help them all through their issues - many of them were simple algebra errors -  but I did run into difficulty on the final question. It took a few attempts, but I was able to guide the first student to the right answer on this question, which then made explaining it to the next students much easier. Other than that, I have been helping students work through example problems in lecture. Many of them are making mistakes that are easy to help correct, but they do not reach out for help. I need to work on being more observant and noticing the students who are struggling.
