    Hi Professor Knapp,

    I was planning to come to your office hours tomorrow morning, but I was just informed that I have a meeting for my research group where the project I am working on is going to be presented at 9 am tomorrow. Is there any other time you are available for office hours before the weekend?

    Thanks!

    Professor Knapp,

    I thought that the activity gave a good, hands on experience with the topic. However, I feel that it might have been best done after a lecture on the material. I did the reading beforehand but I still felt lost. Maybe running through a question as an example would be good?

    Just my thoughts.

    Thanks for your suggestion. It’s really a challenge to find the right mix of lecture and activities to use in teaching. I’ll try to spend some time on Wed and Fri on specific examples.
