Well Now
Summer Session Countdown: T-Minus 6 Days
I spent the better part of yesterday revamping the Web site I use to augment my English classes. It is one of the things I seem to do on an almost semester-by-semester basis, yet someplace in the back of my mind, I know the site doesn’t get used to the degree it should.
Honestly, it’s a waste of my time, but I pretend it’s going to help a few people.
And, I suppose it might. Maybe. Right?
One other class-related task I did was checking enrollment, and I discovered the lists for the Fall Semester has been added to the database.
Imagine my surprise when I saw two of the students who are enrolled in my fall English Writing 300 class are students who failed my course this past semester.
One of them is the I-chose-my-job-over-my-class student, and the other was one of the post-Spring Break disappearing acts. Both were solid students, but each gave up.
I’m still trying to figure out why these two students decided to retake my class. I see two possibilities: one, the students figure they know what to expect and have some of the work done already; two, the students liked my class.
I wonder: could the second possibility be true?

“I wonder: could the second possibility be true?”
Yes, if they have half a brain and care about their future. Since you noted each was a solid student in the past, there must be something up there in the skull other than straw. I say, “Good for them!”
Carry on, Professor Oz!

Bob,
Let’s hope you’re right!

I’m guessing they liked your class. But after reading your other posts, I can sure see why you are surprised. The website rocks. What a gift for the students. I sure hope they are using it. Sometimes in youth, we don’t know how good we have it.

QM,
You make an excellent point regarding appreciation being an issue of timing.
My father calls this “being ready to receive the information,” and it’s a tough truth to swallow.
Apparently, several students are using the site, so it’s not just my party!
