I'll take the opportunity to mention that students should of course always phrase questions about mistakes diplomatically, e.g. "should that be X, instead of Y", as opposed to "that should be...". It makes the dialogue a lot more congenial, especially if it turns out the lecturer was correct in the first place. | |
