Testing Schedule and a Study in Naps

Monday, again. We're still on our testing schedule, with the Math department being the ones doing the testing now that English is done. We'll be on this 2-hour block schedule today and tomorrow, and Wednesday and Thursday will be C-day schedules for an assembly and a make-up snow day.

So, we've been doing some documentary watching, frontloading for their research project that will be assigned this week. But some of my students feel that when a movie comes on, it's time for them to sleep. And I'm not really sure how to address this issue. Thoughts? (I'll ask my classmates too, and see what they have to say, at the risk of starting a riot during open forum in this week's seminar class.)

Evaluated should be my middle name

Sorry friends. Testing has started and life is crazy these days.

My evaluation went well. My supervisor from UNM is awesome and always has really great feedback for me. I chose to film myself teaching on the same day she came (part of my requirements for my seminar class are to film myself teaching twice) and she could tell I was definitely edgier than normal.

I hate being on film. Hate it, hate it, hate it. There's a reason I chose theatre and the stage versus film.


Must go, lots of homework to do. I should be back by the end of the week with another post about returning back to instruction post-standardized testing.

Tata!
