I yelled about Jeff Darlington all through the plot he's wrapping up in his cartoon, griped and bemoaned the horrors he put his all-too likeable characters through. Never mind that I'd kill to be able to plot like that. I take it all back. Today's strip just made me do the 'both hands over the heart, gasp dramatically, and go awwwwww'. Romance is alive and well! http://www.gpf-comics.com/

I got my evaluations back from last semester when I got to Goldey Beacom this afternoon. Sniff! Such -nice- people, dang! I got all 'Yes' answers to the big question, which is would they recommend me to their peers. Lots and lots of them commented that I used terms they could understand, and would stay after class to help. (Sure, why not? We get done early anyway.) I did get a couple of comments under the 'Weaknesses' section. One was griping about the book, which I can't change. Another said I might be too nice, and people might take advantage of me. Me? Nice? *snicker* One person said I go off topic at time. Hey! Did I mention that baseball game that...oh, wait. Back to review. One person simply wrote "Inconclusive." I am? I have no ending! Woo!
Two people said I should cover material more quickly for the people that already understand, and and keep the slower students after class. This is a valid complaint. I do move slowly to make sure everyone keeps up. So what do people think? If you were in my class (which starts with 'this is a mouse' and goes all the way up to financial and if/then functions in Excel), and you got the information, would you mind waiting for me to help the slower folks? Or would you be impatient? Would you throw gum wrappers at me? Would the gum still be in the wrapper? (Preferably unchewed, please.) Any ideas are welcome. Thanks guys!
All in all, I just am sniffling. I have the nicest students, I swear.
