My students are freaking about grades (mid terms must be designed this way) and much less about demonstrating learning, no matter what I tell 'em.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't help that other profs do want regurgitation and seem to penalize anything else.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849272391043604637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357866983330020330.post-71804085845027788992007-10-17T23:09:00.000-05:002007-10-17T23:09:00.000-05:00That was the '80s?

I liked the Electric Company more, though. <BR/><BR/>The students, they are not strong and hardy like when we were undergrads and had to take tests for six miles in the snow uphill both ways. Durn kids! <BR/><BR/>But more seriously, how are their averages after a buttkicking?

Everyone finished and said what I wanted to hear. So I couldn't figure that one out.Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.com
