	Comments: This was the first time I'd taught this particular course, in pre-algebra/arithmetic. I felt pretty confident about it most of the time, but I feel certain that the next time I teach this the evaluations will improve somewhat. I found the format of teaching four hours straight difficult (the lectures were just once a week on Sunday afternoons). It tends to encourage me to rush through the material, and I need to work a little harder at slowing down, and taking more time to do review, as I would in classes that were broken up over several classes during the week. Course page is available here.
