Back to School

A new Fall semester is here, despite Summer's heat and swimming pools' call. This semester I'm teaching 5 courses: Computer Mediated, Advertising & Imagery, Game Design, Graphic Novel and Capstone. So far the students are enthusiastic, and I'm psyched to teach and have fun.

With every fresh start I feel the temptation to make goals. This semester I'm going to try to turn my grades around faster. This is difficult for me, because being a child of the free-wheeling 70s I hate judging others. But I guess it is part of the course, and I can't avoid it.

If you are one of my students always remember that a grade is simply an observation of a project at a single moment in time. It in no way reflects upon you as a person. What it can do is motivate, provide feedback for improvement, or simply reward good effort.
