One down

class observation, that is. My colleagues came to my intro class this morning. The students were wonderful. I have generally found that when someone is observing your class the students make a special effort to be at their best. No one lets themselves get lost in day dreams. A few more people than usual answer questions, and when I put them in discussion groups every group actually discusses the topic and has something to say when we are reporting.

So the class went well.

Because they can't both get to one of the other classes at the same time, I have three more observations left. This was the class I was most nervous about though.
