(Teaching) Resolutions for 2011
1. Keep up with homework. Here in NYC, we break each semester up into three marking periods. We're currently in the third and final marking period of the first term, which means I'm staring down a mound of paper collected in the final 10 days before the Christmas break. This despite the Scarlet O'Hara-like vow that, God as my witness, I'll never fall behind on grading again that I made just before the Second Marking Period grades came due (Dec. 2).
