Poll, Sept 30

• How long have you spent on the homework assignments? Did lecture and the reading prepare you for them?
  I probably spend between 30 minutes to an hour actually solving the problems. Sometimes I feel like typing them up in latex or what have you, so presenting it takes a little bit longer. I'd say that the reading gives me a first pass at the information we learn, and then the lecture is rather important in solidifying those concepts (I'm thinking of DES right now...). Together, I feel prepared.
  
• What has contributed most to your learning in this class thus far?
  I'd say the book. See above for more explanation.
  
• What do you think would help you learn more effectively or make the class better for you? (This can be feedback for me, or goals for yourself.)
  I need to get better at the blogging on time. (I forget until its too late and then don't think I'll get credit, so I don't even try.)
