    Model railroading, backyard astronomy, space exploration, music (composition, play the French Horn, Oboe, Alto Recorder, and Cornet), learning to play the ukulele (seriously, I am :D), kit-bashing, camping, and hiking, reading great science fiction, and escaping the university campus any chance I get!

  1. And now it begins...

    This is the last week of instruction at the community college where I teach. This means:

    • Students who have not cared about their grade for the entire semester will suddenly care.
    • Students who have not turned in any assignments for the entire semester will ask if they can turn in past-due work for full/partial credit (and as stated in my syllabi, no :huh:).
    • Students who have not attended any lecture since mid-terms will suddenly not miss any of the last two lectures.

    Followed by, beginning Friday afternoon's festivities of:

    • Emails asking for extra credit assignments.
    • Emails begging to be allowed to submit those late assignments for partial credit (and as stated in my syllabi, no :huh:).
    • Emails stating I am the worst professor they have ever had.
    • Emails stating I am the best  professor they ever had and plan to take another class with me next term.

      Welp, I'm glad I've been keeping up with my work and not stressing my teachers!
