Sorry for the delay in writing. Since thanksgiving we have been extremely busy.
Finals, and the week after finals. oh joy!
So I'm a cooperative teacher for Fort Hayes Kansas. I am in the class room teaching American Cinema, for a professor in Kansas. I present her material, and give lectures, and write the quizes. She gets the group assignments, writes the exams, and gets the headaches.
Well last week I gave our online final exam. I was told it would be ready for me to just set the time. not so fast. I go into the system the day of the exam and it hasn't been created yet. Now we have a 14 hour time difference from Kansas, so it wasn't like I could email and get an answer, so I had to build the exam from other peoples questions. So I get it done, but none of the questiosn are mine. Oh well. I give the exam. 1/2 the students can't get onto the site, and when they finally do, most of them cannot understand the terminology in many of the questions. And to top it all off there are 8 students who when they submitted their exams, the computers lost them. So they did them again. I even had one student who had to take the same exam 4 times because this kept happening. GRRRRR... Such fun.
And this week I have been mobbed by students who want to tell me their grades are wrong, or to beg for more points grrr!!!
Well just venting, I'll write more interesting things later. (a trip to the Shaolin temple, and trying to buy a snake in china)
