A good news day for this non-traditional student
So …. haven’t managed to accomplish much today …. even considering that it is Wednesday, which is a relatively busy class/teaching day…..
Motel lost its Internet completely during the few hours break I normally have, so couldn’t do any research then…. did get my powerpoint for tomorrow (re)done… but that was about it …
BUT even so, I got to knock a significant chunk off of my workload for the rest of this semester - without doing any work at all….. that made me very happy!
In CanLit this morning, I brought up the topic of the essay for the course…. just to confirm the date it was due and so forth… and during the course of the discussion, the required paper length dropped from 40+ pages to “20 - 25 pages”.
Which drops my workload by about 1/4… instead of 110+ pages of essay to write over the next few weeks, I’m down to a piddly 80 or so …. still bunches, but now it feels doable.
Got to like it when that happens!
Ah, the power of guilt, but now all your aviation students can find me.
I LOVE it when things get easier instead of harder. Remember that prof last semester who had TONS of reading but would lighten the load early in the week AFTER you’d already read them?
my classes typically plead due dates down, not paper lengths …but I like it
