Well, I am up and ready to go! First day of the new semester. I have one new class--Marketing--a semester class. I also have four sections of Introduction to Business--a year course. The Marketing class will be full--with 30 students--I have 30 desks in my room. The Intro classes are smaller, and getting smaller--several students made bad decisions during first semester, and did not earn passing grades. They won't be continuing.
In the Marketing class I will have a number of kids that I know already. I often get "repeat customers." They seem to like what I do and how I do it. Several caught me in the hall last week and reminded me that they were going to be in my class. On the other side, I have a meeting scheduled today with a dad whose child failed. He wants to discuss the way I graded his child's assignments. Ugh.
It is also "Advise and Sign" day at school. This si a part of the registration process for next year. We will check with our students to make sure they understand all the options in our discipline for classes for the upcoming year. I always have hated this time--it is sink or swim time for elective departments. It won't impact me directly, as I won't be there next year. However, I believe strongly in what I do, so I want my courses to continue. We'll see. We haven't done well in recent years.
