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

Slacker co-teacher just accepted the project of the engineering fourth year student irregulars in his lab class that used some of the gears from the basic robotics kit that we have.

He just told the director of the school of engineering that the students accepted that if they don't modify their project before the end of the term, they run the risk of their work being destroyed when the next offering of the intro robot subject starts.

As if they care, when they don't even respect the projects of other students.

And if it weren't for the fact that slacker co-teacher just wants to be able to grade the works of all of his students early so he doesn't have to show up during course card distribution day, he wouldn't accept and grade their work yet at all.

In my robotics two class earlier, when there was still a lot of time left after the two reports for announcements before the daily quiz, I told them that there has to be a committee set up by one representative per group for coming up with the rules of the robot battles. Besides that, I only received one hardcopy of one report of one group, so I reminded the others to submit theirs. What I planned to tell them, but which I forgot and only remembered now, is that we are going to start setting up a cannibalization corner in the lab where the students can bring all these old electronics equipment they have at home that don't work anymore and they don't want to have fixed, or want to throw away.

This will ensure that the other lazy groups will have a lot of components to try to salvage without having to disassemble existing projects; all they have to do is test them first.

And speaking of salvage, one of the organizers of the Computer Science and Information Management week just approached me asking if they could use the robot kits for an exhibit for the next two days.

I said they had to submit a formal letter, which he showed being handwritten on a legal pad, which I asked him to photocopy anyway so that we would have one copy each after I sign it.

Session 1891 wants to stand on the shoulders of students who have passed other subjects. Class dismissed.
