No weekly recap from last week. Those entries were starting to feel forced, a sort of "this week such and such went right, such and such went wrong." In other words: boring.
My dilemma, as of late, is how to avoid this blog from becoming one of two things: A) a golly-gee-whiz teaching is super page or B) a whine-fest about students. Oddly, though, teaching seems to lend itself well to this dichotomy. I rarely have in-between days or classes. Things go right more often than they go wrong, yet when they go wrong they're spectacular disasters.
At least, that's how I perceive it. My new goal, though, is to put myself more in my students' place. A class session that I feel fails is, in their reality, simply a kind of boring hour of their day. It's more productive for me to spend my time working and planning than worry about what they think about me.
