Grading: Pt 1

8/35.

Current thoughts: Grading is incredibly time-consuming, but so far pretty interesting. It's interesting to see what Tim's lectures, my teaching, the handouts I gave and their own ideas give rise to. And honestly, though most of them (quite naturally) don't grasp how to write a literary analysis, I'm surprised by the extent to which they touch on valuable and thoughtful points - even if they lack the ability to develop them.

More to come. If reports are true, almost certainly downhill. But I remain hopeful that my current obsession with pedagogy will pull me through.
