The big stick

Maybe it's the fact that this last homework set was the most "computational" of the semester's assignments (and therefore the most like the math these folks have seen in earlier coursework), or maybe it's that I scared the crap out of them with the low grades and soapbox speeches that accompanied the last homework set...it's likely a combination of both...but for whatever reason, the 280 students did much better on this last go-around than they did on the previous one.

Kudos, kiddoes! Keep it up.
