- Spend less time on physics of LIGO and more time highlighting different applications of matched filtering
- Can save Gaussianity section for advanced students
- Don't mention the PSD if you're only going to talk about the ASD
- Include a visualization of the Welch method?
- Spend more time explaining the Welch method on real data than on generating colored Gaussian noise
- Use more analogies for the waveform effects:
- Bigger rock thrown in lake, bigger ripples
- Closer to the rock, bigger ripples
- Save spin discussion for more advanced students?
- Mass ratio problem did not work well in zoom format. Maybe more time was needed, solving together on "white board"?
- More emphasis on concept behind cross-correlation than the mathematical procedure
