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.

Monica, I was trying to read this on the projector in class earlier but my eyes are horrible. I read "With every fresh start I feel the temptation to make grits."
ReplyDeleteI was thinking "Oh that's so sweet... she makes grits for her kids on the first day of school. I love grits!"
I need to get my eyes checked.
Oh Bailey. You are funny. (I too love grits though...)
