I'm grateful to have Japes at any time of day.<BR/><BR/>Davimack: If the time stamp on your post is accurately adjusted for time zone, then I'd guess your students are shocked and confused to find themselves in class completing exercises at four in the morning. That's one hell of a tight ship you run.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894333032725428250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327778823495975786.post-84667776594563078482008-10-31T05:36:00.000-07:002008-10-31T05:36:00.000-07:00Jessica: I simply had no time to post all day.

Thursdays are bad for me in the first place, but I generally manage by doing the translation as soon as the comics come out on various websites at midnight the night before. This time, I had to mark and write lecture notes until the wee hours, so I couldn't. It is entirely possible that this will happen again, but never fear: sooner or later, there will be Japes.<BR/><BR/>Davimack: Yes. I am also wondering why it is apparently so difficult for students to follow instructions. If a question on your midterms asks you to discuss X element in Y text, why on earth would you discuss every element <I>except</I> X? Do you think I am issuing you a logic puzzle? I just want you to answer the damn question, guys.Angry Kemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922460027569086541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327778823495975786.post-48214713499163999732008-10-31T04:12:00.000-07:002008-10-31T04:12:00.000-07:00Well, you know ... students.

I've got a batch right now which are suppose to be doing an exercise to demonstrate that they've mastered the concepts ... and they're completely lost. This is the fourth day I'm giving them the same information, and they are just so dim! Grr.David T.

I leisurely checked "Japes" at midday, found no October 30 update, and immediately began to experience harsh symptoms of withdrawal.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894333032725428250noreply@blogger.com
