My experience with students....

I had a two students come into my office 10 minutes after they took their last exam of the semester. They wanted me to calculate their grades and look at the answers to the test they just took. I let them see the key and look things over for about 3 minutes, then smiled emailed them a website where they can calculate their grades on their own, since all this information is available. (Note, these were the same students who came to me 3 weeks ago asking for the same thing... I couldn't accommodate this at that moment so I suggested they come back the next day during my (actual) office hours. I spent about 20 minutes taking the time to look them up, calculate their grade and estimate what they needed on the next exam... they never showed up.)

Back the present.

After another 15 minutes of the students leaving, one comes back in my office asking that I stop everything and grade his paper. Note... this is 30 minutes after the exam. The exam is graded by a "bubble sheet" machine; not me. I said no and he kept smiling and begging. Finally after four times repeating myself, I walked him to the door and he left.

Chieh, my officemate... immediately went into a fit of giggles.

Summer session

I teach this summer...

60 student max.... and I already have 63...

I have the honor of teaching the largest class in all of the College of Business.
After today I'm debating whether I should dread this or not.

Oh well... I'm going with the not.

The first week's lessons are set (That was tonight's job) and I think things are ready to start.... syallabus is looking good. First week done... and students are ready. I'll take this as a good beginning.

Class starts May 10th, 9am. :)
