"I started a blog because this class is centered on visuals," said Haik. "If you can get the visuals, you can get the concept."
As a Supplemental Instruction (SI) leader, Haik hopes the visuals on YouTube will help his SI students understand the core concepts of the class. The blog will also allow for discussion and feedback.
