    DISCLAIMER: I do not claim to be a "teacher". I give lectures, provide assignments, write and grade tests, answer questions and ask questions, but I have not discovered any science of education and do not know how to teach. The burden of learning is on my students and all I can do is try to help with this, but even here I rely entirely on the students. They do all the real work.
    Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.
