The teaching system at UoB is quite different from the school's in US. For the first year undergaduate, it is required to have tutorials for them, which is learning in small groups. So I am running stats tutorials for six students. It is fun to work in small groups. In this informal setting, students are more encouraged to participate. They ask questions, solve the problems on blackboard, etc. So far so good.
One of the students did not show up today. Actually I am a little bit worried about her, since I have not heard from her from the beginning of the school year. I don't know if she is actually here or not. So today I asked the undergraduate coordinator to check on her. Well, I think it is my responsibility to make sure that my students are making effort on their school work.
I like theses students. Hope they all enjoy learning.
