midterm #2

ah, midterms.

i will say i felt much more prepared for this one than the last one, and finished the test in good time, feeling confident that i at least knew the material better than last time.

our prof came to our lab last night and helped us review. our ta gave us a quiz and helped us review. then today, before the test, our prof helped us review some more. (as he always does.)

the prof is very, very strange, and i have to say if i had the option of taking one of his classes again, i definitely would, if the lecture were a little (ok, a lot) smaller. he wants you to understand the material, not so much compete for a grade. he gives mnemonic devices with which to remember things. he tells personal anecdotes to help you understand the material (but beware, they could be on the exam. -- good luck if that happens).

to sum up, while i hate the sardine-like qualities of sitting in lecture, i do generally like the class. despite my TA still not fixing our lab grade, and being slow to grade in general.

plus, the TA is kinda cute.
