A student cried in my office hours this week. Not something I did--just general stress, but I still feel bad about it. I'm getting tired of the students that think learning is a passive thing and put in the bare minimum of effort on the homework and then complain to me that class is hard. You can't pattern-match your way to understanding... Writing Haskell is fun--lots of meditating on what I want to do, then very little coding to get a lot done. Although, sometimes it feels like I'm learning to program all over again--it's idea of how you structure computation is very different from your standard imperative languages. Sorry for the programming heavy post but I've been doing nothing but teaching and writing for the longest time...
