Teaching Day

I handed back their graded mid-terms Tuesday (that's a one-week turnaround, things move fast in a summer intensive). Yesterday's Debate (their in-class debate, that is, not last night's Democratic scrum overstuffed as it was with pale, stale, male also-rans interrupting Elizabeth Warren) was lively and fun, today they are workshopping their final papers to strengthen their theses and anticipate objections. Next week ends the course and it's a shortened week given the July 4 holiday (can't have any distractions from Dear Leader's tantrum amongst his brass-plated pee-pee guns). Evaluations Tuesday, handing in papers Wednesday and likely early out. So strange, but the last two weeks scarcely feel like they even have time to happen at all.
