This summer flew by. I have had the most awesome group of students. Although I am physically and mentally exhausted, both classes have been a lot of fun. I hope my students feel the same. The end of a semester is always a sad relief. I am always more than ready for the break, but it makes me sad to watch my students walk out of class for the last time.
I know that this is just a literature class, one that most of them admit they dreaded taking, but I hope that it has been more than a dreaded gen ed requirement. Course outcome statements aside, I hope I have made the course have meaning in ways that my students feel is real and valid to their individual lives. I hope that something useful from this course positively changes their lives if only in some small way.
Well, I still have to total scores for the last presentations that were done, so I can return grade sheets tomorrow before the final. Better get back to work. *Sigh.*
