Modifications/comments:

- emphasize the main concepts
  fractal-like:
  - main concepts of year/quarter,
  - main concepts of week/section,
  - main concepts of particular class
  ...and tie examples back to these.

- TA
  Make sure TA is helping out students:
  if students need help, they should be able to lean on TA a bit

- exam expectations
  Make sure people know that they should not expect to get 90% on my
  exams, and that this is okay!!
  (and my philosophy behind it:
   rather than give easy questions that you get perfect,
     (and kill yourself over trivial mistakes)
   I give harder (but possible) questions that you get part-way
   through: this way I can see -how deep- your understanding is.)

  This is -especially- important:
  - on the first exam
  - for people joining the class late
