The 16-week semester has started. It is now week 3. Some things I've noticed from my 61:
-
I've been trying really hard to be even slightly early instead of
arriving right on the dot. Would be nice if I could arrive 5 minutes
early.
- Most students have their textbooks by the second meeting.
- Students email me when they are absent.
- Most students arrive early or on time.
-
Students let me know when they have to step out of the classroom to use
the restroom. This is respectful of them because they are college
students, so they actually don't need my permission to do that. This
also happened last semester with this level.
- I already gave them
their first quiz and most did not do well, so I'm giving them extra
credit points for active class participation, and they are definitely taking
advantage of that.
