Icecold: Review, week 5

This week was dominated by the superbly challenging prime factorisation problem, which basically all students at least attempted.

Tutorial:
- In the tutorial, I chose to focus my examples on teaching skills to solve the first three (easier) exercises, and just ignore the prime factorisation exercise for now. I believe this was a mistake - we got through the examples in barely half an hour, and for a brief moment I wasn't sure how to continue.

Icecold: review, week 1

The overall feeling from the first class was not a great one. But we'll see what we can do about this in the next few weeks.

The planning section is a great memory aid and reflection tool, because I can compare what I was thinking before the class to what I was thinking after the class. Let's bring it up.

Icecold: Planning, week 1

One hour and 20 minutes is the time I have. With my new planning methods, it should be more than enough.

This is a slightly different course from protactinium, but there are a lot of activities and content that I can try to reuse.

struggling to find a cool example of a demonstration I could use.

Soon the lecturer + TA meeting for icecold is coming up, and it's time to start thinking about how I will prepare my classes.
