Hello my curious students! Here's what you can usually expect from my courses:

1. In-class problems each day that are graded on accuracy. However, you can redo these as homework as much as you need until you get them correct! (often about 1/4 of the grade)
2. Regular practice on your own that is graded on completion. I abhor giving mere tasks and busywork, so anything you do as actual practice counts. (often only 1/10 of the grade)
3. Usually one Midterm and one Final. Sometimes two midterms. (often most of the grade, 60~70% total)

Each course is different though; please read the syllabus to understand exactly what's expected of you when you enroll!

As for me personally? I grew up in Socal, going to college at UCSB and then UCR for my PhD, before moving to Yuba City for work. In my off time I'm usually playing video games or writing fantasy novels. At least, you know, when I'm not wasting time on the internet. The best game is Skyrim. I'm also a fan of Pokemon; you can probably catch the keychains hanging from my bag!

Also, I am a total nerd who does math problems in their free time. So I'll leave you with this, for anyone still reading. If you inscribe a square within a circle, what fraction of the circle's area does the square take up?
