today was the last lecture. Tomorrow is the final. So glad.

I lost it on the students today. Ididn't yell but I did tell them in 8 years they were the first to NOT get it so please tell me where I failed in teaching it to them. For two days I've been telling them producers are things that make their own energy via photosynthesis. I asked them on land it's what (plants) and on water (plankton) and they answered me correctly. I assumed from that they understood.
So their homework question was if you are in an oak-hickory forest system what would be the prominent producer and they literally did NOT KNOW what I was asking. I told my mother this and she got it in 30 seconds so I asked again what's a producer. They could tell me that and they could tell me plants and plankton but they couldn't go beyond definition to think it thru. I told them you can't just memorize. You have to be able to USE it.

One more day then I get a 2 week break until the next batch who will be IN the nursing/allied health and or pre-med programs. Save me.

And I'm thinking I have to do something with Kanda, maybe a battery operated toy for when I leave or another cat to hate on or something because when I am gone longer than usual he pulls out his fur and then I can't get rid of him when I do come home. He's in my face like a second skin.


bah. Here have some happy. I so want to be in a Thor/Loki sandwich.




And since you guys are helpful story woes and a possible solution.

I am constantly amazed by the lack of brain power in today's youth.

Your students are really, really special. (I got it immediately, and I'm an art major!)

I don't even get what their problem IS. Even the older students who were taught better study habits than they have now weren't getting it. This has literally never happened.

I'm relieved you got it mostly because I was worried I was doing something wrong here...
