Dear Hadley, Yes, yes, I make lots and lots of mistakes too. I do everything "live", in front of the students. (I think that it makes them happy to see the professor making some mistakes, because they see that everyone makes mistakes from time to time!) After the lecture is over, while I am adding lots of comments, I also take the time to correct any mistakes that I made. This process took a LOT of time the first time that I did it, but I think that it was worthwhile. I'm weighing whether to do it again this fall..... and I think that I will. It should be easier the second time around. Mark
I have often done exactly the same, and students have expressed their appreciation. They also are likely complain when I don't do this, no matter how simple the example presented... albyn
