[Comments]
I wanted to, but didn't have time to do 18, 25, or a modification of 30.

In section 2, I realized that many people didn't have their books during the method recognition exercise and so I wrote the problems on the board.

Do you like working in partners? Do you like being forced to work with someone or would you rather partner with someone on your own?

What don't you like about the discussion section?

What do you like about discussion section?

People did a good job of stapling their papers, I would like to remind that failure to do so will result in a loss of a point on homework.
