drscottSecond intro night was Tuesday night. Attendance was up -- there were three squares -- but not quite as many prospective studenten. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
allanh reviewed it well here, but I had a student's-point-of-view comment to add.
So far we've covered Cross Trail Thru, Triple Trade, Triple Scoot, Quarter Thru, and Grand Follow Your Neighbor. Nothing terribly hard, though I find the nonlocal knowledge needed to do Triple Trade unfortunate. I had a big problem with Quarter Thru, because Michael Levy gave the definition only once, and it was rushed enough (he tends to be fast and nervous) that I didn't catch it well enough to repeat it to myself. Since he never repeated it in full again, I found myself feeling clueless through about 10 calls of it. Callers: repeat the damn definition! Especially when it's as confusing as 'Those who can Cast Off by 1/4 by the Right, then those who can Trade by the Left." I look forward to having the teaching order in advance so I can previsualize. I hate feeling incompetent.
Real class starts next week -- still time to join...
