first week done!

The first week is done. All in all it went well, attendance is strong at lectures, the TAs report that students were engaged during the first inquiry lab, and that the discussions were intense during the recitations. Still there were some logistical missteps:

1) students naturally look for a list of problem-sets, lectures etc. However all is organized via a weekly learning module. This is non-obvious to students, and it is forced by webCT not being able to present a directory of lecture files to students except if they are placed in learning modules. One option I might consider is to unhide the psets so students can access it from both paths

2) some students mis-read the 8am deadline as 8pm so missed some work

Let's see if we can keep the momentum up.
