While You Were Teaching 2.6

This week was kind of a bummer. Plenty of silver linings though. February Week 1 in the books. Here's what you missed.

I had several highs and lows this week. Most of my students made huge gains in their quiz performance compared to last week and have started becoming more academically independent. It's encouraging to see them need me less by the day and start to take command of their education. There were also a few students that clearly couldn't handle this week's challenges and were cracking under the pressure. February Week 1 had it all.
