New Quarter starts Monday November 15th, 2010

As I sit here, finishing with last minute preparation for the next quarter, I often think of my accomplishments or failures.  Where could I have done something different? Or what can I do to make things better?  I feel energized and renewed by the new start this coming Monday, I hope you, my students will too!  So again, good luck!!! I am looking forward to having some fun.

So, here's what I want you all to hold at the end of this semester: an A+ card!!!

So 

Midterm

This is a moment for pause and reflection, because we have come a long way since September.  Months came and went by, students came and left, and grades were recorded.  I want all you students to think about what you have accomplished, whether it was to make it through every day, or to get a better grade, or to attend every single class.  Then, pat yourselves on the back.  You made it!  Time to think about next quarter and your next goal.

I am happy to have all of you in class every day.  I wish all of you good luck and good learning for the next few months!

Think about the last lesson we did in class.  Pick a topic, or concept, ad write a paragraph about it.  Address the following points: was it easy to understand, and why, what made it easy or hard, and how will you know that you mastered this concept?
