I’ve posted my teaching notes from yesterday’s class. In future classes, I’ll make an effort to produce something with a little more narrative structure, and to get that posted in advance of our class; if I can’t do that (which, given the work load I’ve taken on, is likely to be the case on any given week), I’ll do what I’ve done here, and post the slightly cleaned-up outline of my teaching notes a day or so after the class; in either event, it should save you the trouble of taking detailed notes (if you’re the sort inclined to take notes).

I enjoyed the class yesterday; I appreciate the attention you gave me, and I thought your questions were perceptive and important. I think this is going to be fun. As we get into the course, the amount of time I spend talking should diminish, and the amount of time we have for questions and discussion should increase. I’m looking forward to that, and I hope that you are as well.
