LaTeX Course at 3rd Day of Semat

Published on September 4, 2013.

Today was the third and last day of my course about LaTeX that I talk (in this post <../01/latex_course>). Around 10 students attend it and you will find more information about that below.

Today we have some problems with the room that we use in the others days since it has two courses allocated. We have to go to other room that haven't a video projector and took around 30 minutes to set it up.

LaTeX Course at 2nd Day of Semat

Published on September 4, 2013.

Yesterday was the second day of my course about LaTeX that I talk (in this post <../01/latex_course>). Around 10 students attend it and you will find more information about that below.

I try to follow the plan with the pads (one for the contents <semat-latex2.txt> and other for feedbacks <../02/semat-feedback-latex.txt>) and the rounds since no students say anything about it:
