Teaching Logs

Below are the weekly prompts for your teaching logs. In general all teaching logs should have a brief summary of what was covered in section and comments on whether things went according to plan. In addition, each week will have specific topics to write about. A typical teaching log entry need not be longer than a page, but should be substantive (i.e., a few sentences will not suffice). The instructors will check your logs from time to time.
