What's interesting is that the winger is always more interesting and informative than the prof with detailed notes. So, who knows if you're actually shortchanging the lectures? <BR/><BR/>But you're absolutely right on the papers. In the end, few people actually care about detailed comments, and those who do will frequently ask for them afterwards. I was amazed by how many people (at a professional school, not undergrads) were complaining about paper-return lateness last term. I mean, seriously? You care? Really?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-69940551611806685762008-03-01T02:33:00.000-05:002008-03-01T02:33:00.000-05:00Scott: oh, shit! I'm so busted.Scott: oh, shit!

And I don't feel great about doing that, either. But, c'mon -- two afternoon classes on the Friday before spring break? Like they were gonna be paying any attention to database searching techniques, anyway. :) And, I was literally saved by the bell in the 2nd class -- the fire alarms went off. It was 2:45. The regular instructor and I looked at each other, shrugged, and told the students to have a nice spring break. :) (Yes, our spring break is way early. Sadly, it doesn't matter to me one way or the other, as the library is open and staff are there as usual.)RLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790888934803058264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-10250375223683179752008-02-29T21:16:00.000-05:002008-02-29T21:16:00.000-05:00Wing, wang, wung.

I hide the attempts to wing writing.

Thus: I frequently wing, yesterday I wang, I have often wung.<BR/><BR/>But seriously, Flavia, I hear you. Oh how I hear you. Try winging a class on Middle English morphology!

And with just under 2 weeks to devise a 30-minute talk (that I will need to have written out), and fresh out of grading jail, I am quickly learning what can and cannot be wung (winged? wang?).<BR/><BR/>But I will concur with you on the outsized respect one gets from turning in forms on time.
