I hate this monitored class set up! I had to give my students a test that I thought was unfair. Then the course (meaning all 11 or so sections combined) average comes back as a 61. My section's average was a 65, so better then the overall course, but still! That is RIDICULOUS! The test was bad! And has there been any emails gone out about that ( Read more... )

My students have a test tonight, and I'm worried for them. The problems on the test are harder then they should be. I really wish I was in charge of my class and of how the tests are written. I got to review the test before it went to print this time and give feedback on any changes that I thought should be made... and guess what... she didn't ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in my office waiting for it to be time to go "teach" my class (today is a review day and I'm letting the students leave as soon as they fill out their HW sampling paper... so I'm really not teaching today thus the "teach" in quotes). I'm bored, and my office smells funny, because the janitors didn't throw out the trash yesterday and ( Read more... )

Well I did better than I thought I would... but still really close to that supposed 60 ( Read more... )

I didn't do well on today's test... the problems were not similar to things we've done before (yes they dealt with some of the same concepts, but not in ways that we've been applying them). There were 5 questions each at 20pts each, and I think I completely bombed 2 of them... do the math that means at best I made in the 60's range ( Read more... )

Well we have reached the true tell-tell sign of how I am doing in my classes... I have a test this Wednesday, and then one next Monday (Oct 3). Pray for me. I'm scared ( Read more... )

Ok so some of these are really late to be posting now... but on the other hand some were just taken Saturday and Sunday :) So I guess it all evens out;)
