Oh, this is a great starting point. It's totally relatable how students struggle with proofs in their first semester; it's like a whole new language. I like that they're framing it as a skill to be developed.
Yeah, that makes sense. It's not something you just pick up overnight. Setting the expectation that it takes time and practice is key to not getting discouraged early on.
Okay, so they're diving right into what makes a proof 'formal.' I'm curious to see what the basic building blocks are they're going to introduce. Is it going to be a lot of logic symbols?
