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

So in my Intermediate Robotics classes, I have instituted the rule that they have to write their progress reports in the group notebook.

This makes it easier to see the previous entries and the changes they made.

I'm also thinking of having them come up with a percentage completed rating for each project, just to see how well they assess their work.

And since in my other classes I don't have a certain board copy monster as my student, I will be giving them handouts there instead, in my decision about the previous days' dilemma, and to speed up our lessons.

I will just emphasize reading the handouts several times in the lesson and in the experiments.

Going one step further, I can also upload the files to a mailing list I can start, and just let them print out the notes for themselves, if they want – or not.

One more student has dropped from one of my classes, because of a conflict with another major subject. I'm still thinking of whether I should change the class time of some of my classes to accommodate them.

I just don't want them to make it a habit that they think that is the first solution to their problem if they can't take some subjects simultaneously.

But then, it should also have been optimized in the schedule before it was given to the students.

There can be a software made to work this out, removing the conflicts within the students' schedule and the teachers as well, and maintaining the maximum number of units assigned to each, or to the most number of people.

To think I was just talking about something like that with my friends Joel and Ryan the other day, as something a lot of schools can use.

Session 1321 doesn't deserve handouts. Class dismissed.
