Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Today I just had the review/recitations in my two one-hour classes (1030am and 230pm) for the exam on Friday. Again the coverage is the last four questions on the zodiac constellation calendar, all the constellations discussed so far (15 of them), and the two cycles of nature we've taken up: day and night, and the phases of the moon.

I had to limit the number of questions from each topic (12, 12, 8, 8) to make sure that all of them were tackled sufficiently.

Only the questions (and answers) on the zodiac constellation calendar were the ones I asked to be written on the board because, unlike the other questions, which they are supposed to be able to look up in their notes anyway, these are more for practice.

There were some concerns that I would have the time zone conversion table in the exam, but when I didn't have any questions about that in the review, the students were put at ease.

Today is also the deadline for the report on the field trip. Yesterday and last Monday around twenty students total already submitted their reports and earned the bonus, which left around seventy to pass their folders today. I've already noticed that some do not have pictures, probably assuming I'd remember that I saw them in the park last Saturday. But there is no such assurance, especially with 100+ students in all three of my classes.

For my 1250-220pm Monday/Friday class, they all put their reports in my pigeonbox, a couple even gave it to the secretary to put on my desk, without the folder. Fortunately I saw them lingering in the consultation area, and they were able to ask me if the folders were required. And it's become a familiar sight for students to ask me to wait while they went to the bookstore to get requirements.
