Class Discussion: About This Class
Please do me and your classmates and yourself a favor. Use this discussion forum — add comments below — to make suggestions, complaints, compliments, comments, or whatever. If you don’t want anybody but me to see it, say so in the comment. I read all of them, of course, but they don’t become available for anybody else until after I read and approve them. And, the other side of the same coin, If I don’t want the rest of the class to see them I won’t post them up here either, but I will see them.
Here are some of the areas you might want to comment on:
- The classes: my style, content, slides, speed, class discussions. Are there topics you’d like to see more of that we already covered, or topics you’d like to see that aren’t on the schedule? Am I boring? Add some comments here.
- The readings: too much, too little, something I’ve missed?
- Guest speakers: somebody you’d like to suggest?
- Assignments: too much, too little.
- Grading: does it creep you out that you don’t really know until the end? I figure you can’t complain about grading directly, because I don’t do it until the end; but maybe you don’t like that. Or maybe you do like it.
Or anything else … although you might look at the other discussions first, because you might find one that fits the “something else” better than this one.
Summary: comments welcome! Bring it on.
I am concerned about a possible pop quiz next week that you mentioned in class on wedensday about the readings. I received your email to order our coursebooks during Spring Break. I ordered them through amazon and have still not received any of them. I have watched your videos online and read half of the Art of Start Ch 1 online but I cannot complete the other required reading. I am not trying to slack off but I won’t be able to understand the quiz without my books.
Thank you!
Hooray, I’m so happy to see you’re onto this site and using the comments area that you just got yourself an exemption from any pop quiz that might happen this week. Which, I promise, won’t be on Monday anyhow — which doesn’t necessarily mean it would happen on Wednesday either — but definitely not Monday because we have Joanna Van Vleck as a guest speaker on Monday, and I don’t want anybody to miss class.
