Impressions of a faculty member teaching undergraduate mathematical methods for the first time

At Texas State University, Mathematical Methods is taught as a junior level class, and is one of the first classes students take after completion of the introductory sequence. I am teaching the class for the first time during the spring semester after having experience teaching at the introductory level and at the senior level. I am finding that the assumptions I made regarding student preparation prior to the class are quite different from what I am encountering. I will share some of the things I have found, and the things I am doing to address student needs.
