Slightly over half an hour to go till the end of today’s session. I’ve spent most of the last two days writing up assessments (13 of them). I need a lot more practice, especially on writing word problems. I usually know what I want to ask, but I get stuck on inventing the situation. I tend to just use the same things over and over again. On the positive side, I am extremely adept with Word which helps a lot and makes everything look very professional. The next step for me is to collect all the feedback and make the modifications. Eventually I will have some undergrads to supervise, but for now it’s all me. Actually I find it very stimulating.
It’s wonderful to just sit back and listen to Linda and Larry talk. I am immersed in the idea of teaching mathematics from counting to calculus. They rattle off both the new and the old Standards of Practice off the tops of their heads – I’d forgotten they’d even been revised. My brain is bursting and I’m so happy. God, I’m a nerd! Or should I say, Thank God I’m a Nerd!
