Teaching

Been fiddling with my syllabus. Doing a couple things differently in the future. For example, I've always had writing assignments due Tuesday and returned them Thursday. Wednesday, then, was spent reading them. Now I'm going to have them due Thursday and return them the following Tuesday, giving me more time to read them. In the past, I liked the long stretch Fri-Mon without concerns for students because I was involved in some time-consuming project of my own. This no longer applies -- I've slowed down in my own work and can give greater blocks of time to students.
