Tuesday Thursday Mistakes

I seem to make more mistakes in my T Th class this quarter than in my MW. The first week I managed to have a streak of white face cream on my jaw line that one student mentioned at the end of class. I also have enjoyed misspellings on the white-board and had trouble with the overhead projector just before a lecture on visual aids. I've told them that they distract me. The tone of the group is lively (which is much better than overly quiet). They chit chat a lot during breaks between speeches. Every once in a while when my back is turned they laugh and I feel like I must have a "kick me" sign. They aren't mean spirited just active.

I do enjoy them. Most of them went to the trouble of constructing their visual aids for SA#2. There was one young man who had a posterboard with brass tone tacks through each of the letters of the label and his three pie charts. It made for an attractive display.

I want to start writing about specific students but don't want to use real names. I'm going to figure out the easiest way to work that before informative speeches start.
