Week of 1/14

This week's office hours was off to a quick start for me. A student came in almost a minute or so after I had come in and set up shop in the little room. I ended up staying an extra hour, but this student and I worked through approaching a tricky Sapling problem from a number of ways and examining gaps between our thinking and the solution, as well as different ways of reaching the same answer. It was incredible to see how well this student had done the mathematical derivation needed to solve the problem and how the only gap in her answering the question correctly was a matter of variable assignment/conceptual understanding.
