More Griping--Move Along
I think I could be a tougher grader
if I had more confidence
in the ciriculum that I've developed.
Firstly, I've, shhhhh, never even taken
a WS course in all of my living life.
So, it's not that I've had any training
or guide-lines in what to teach these students
and what to evaluate them on.
Secondly, my own background is Lit Theory.
Heavy emphasis on _theory_. Pretty sure
these 18-year-olds are getting too much theory
in a 100 level course, so I curve the grades.
Or should I say ricochet?
Try spelling that without a dictionary. Whew.
I don't think anyone deserves to fail Women Studies
unless they absolutely do _nothing_.
So, that leaves about 5 people failing.
And I feel like the shittiest teacher in the world.
Wonder what my new job will be?
BTW: Habitat printed the news letter without me.

Coming back to this blog I am!
This is my Strawberry Wine

BUT, WS IS theory. I think it's difficult to develop practical applications before a thorough understanding of the underlying theory is had. I'm sure you feel stuck. Sorry :)
Who needs to be able to spell, now that we have the Google Toolbar? I use it constantly, and can actually feel IQ points leeching out of my bones like calcium.
what in the heck-type of metaphor is that?
"leeching out of my bones like calcium"??? ;-)^
what else should leech out of my bones, plutonium?
my body needs calcium, right? my brain needs to hold on to those IQ points... seems logical to me.
