Is a fine field, it’s just that I’m not sure I can trust it for long term answers for any mythological investigation. Considering that “lols” is now more or less common lexicon, and in the space of about a decade, it seems to undercut the long term effectiveness of trying to trace the change of any given word.
If you’re a company out there, and I follow you on facebook, and your posts come up in my feed…please don’t copy and paste your status updates. Especially if the status updates contain criminally wrong information.
You’re wasting my time having to call you out, and you’re wasting your time by having to explain it.
This has been your Friday public service announcement.
I’m just going to say that I’m a bit out of practice of handling the amount of work I’ve got at the moment. It’s not nearly as much as I had a year and a half ago, but with the last year of having very very few classes, it’s a bit of a transition.
I think I’m getting it, though, so that’s good. Tomorrow after grading, it’s time to set up a schedule so that I can stay on track. It saved my bacon two years ago when I instituted it, so it should prove as useful now.
Are the bane of my existence this term. I am extraordinarily happy that I’ve got the classes I do, but man…one course requires the students to do worksheets…and I have three sections. The biggest hassle is that these worksheets are designed to be done in a physical classroom. They are not made for online work.
This slows down the students’ abilities to get them done as well as slowing down grading.
Because, let’s face it, I can’t just give out a worksheet, dock some points when they’re wrong, and then hand it back. How does that teach anything? Consequently, it’s a long process, and one which I’m trying to get used to.
On the plus side, I know precisely what adjustments I”ll be advocating for in the future for this particular college.
I hate coughing so hard so often that I get a headache.
