Not sure what accounts for this sleeplessness--it's 3.20 a.m. I have been up for two hours now, working on papers, study guides and updating materials for what seems to be a never-ending academic year! Our terms--known as blocks--last until early June. Then there's marking and make up exams which students are allowed to take until August. It seems like I teach year round!
To-day my Oral Communications class made their persuasion speeches. It took some persuading to get certain students to move from information mode to persuasion mode, which rather intrigues me. I should think speaking to persuade, on a passionate topic, would be interesting. It certainly was for me in my Oral Com's courses. But then, I like to take on the issues. Rabble Rouser! Okay, this said, it's off to bed. I realise I emailed students the same material--twice. No excuse now!
