i finally got my evaluations back today for the courses i taught last semester. overall, i think they were very very good. i got some great feedback and compliments on how the semester went, which is a great feeling and what i hoped for. they also provided plenty of ideas on how to improve the courses i teach in the future. and, unfortunately, there were some not so great things said too. i suppose that's inevitable right? there will always be students who don't like me as an instructor or didn't get much out of the course. i'm trying to not let those comments overshadow the positive ones.
time to hit the gym and not think about it anymore...more to write sbout my great weekend.
p.s.- great spam subject line: kung fu angst

About Me
- Kate :)
- I recently graduated with my Ph.D. in Sociology and I'm still trying to get used to the fact that I'm done with school forever. I've been teaching in my first faculty position since August 07, which is going well. Not sure what's next on the horizon, but I know I will figure it out. Currently, I'm living back in Iowa and readjusting to life in the Midwest. In general, I'm pretty laid back, funny, and open minded. Love movies, playing golf, takin' it easy with friends, drinking coffee, writing in my journal, road trips, traveling, beer, wine, and white russians, and monkeys. :) Hmmm...what else? I miss being close to friends who are far away, but it has been nice meeting new people and being closer to family. I think those are the basics. :) Thanks for reading.

If people don't complain, you're not doing your job. There are kids that need to have the world turned a little upside down and you are responsible to do that.
Think about it like this: the kid that has made fun of African-Americans all his life isn't going to want to be told that they're wrong. They can either complain in class or they can say that your teaching style was the real problem. I say, listen with a critical ear.
