I have added some "reactions" to the blog. This allows you to quickly comment on how much you understand something. Please use this so that I can gauge how much people understand, and which areas I need to go over more.
You don't have to comment, and it's anonymous so please give me this feedback so that I can tailor my teaching to help you. If you would like me to go over something individually then leave a comment and I'll catch up with you :)
