The math myth

A few days ago I made a joke to someone that the results of our initial math test had already been announced by email, i.e. those who had passed the test would already have received a notice telling so.

Funny thing is, the joke seems to have turned into a rumour which is spreading like a bush fire. And some OEGs (overly eager guys), who - as everybody else - have not yet received anything, seem to be short of panicking by now ;-)

Easy peasy

Today was the first lecture day.

Some overeagerly hard working students already tried to spread panic by claiming that one would have to prepare homework for certain sessions and they started to solve some exercises listed as homework for the first lecture. What a weird thought though, solving the assignments before the lesson! Makes the professor kind of redundant ;-)

There's not much stress yet, as the first lectures in each course consisted mainly of administrative issues and a short overview of the course. Let's see how the week develops...
