Experience from Week #3
This week is much shorter, as spring break starts a little early for me! But before I head to Chicago, I must dive into my experiences this week...
Not too much happened. Both days, I went over homework questions and I graded quizzes that the students took. I cannot give away actual scores, but I will say this: the multiple choice portion had grades that were below average, while the short answer portion had much better grades. I did the two portions myself, and found that the multiple choice test was more difficult than the short answer test. It was great to get some experience grading, as that is a huge aspect of being a teacher. As for the homework questions, I simply went over any problems that any students had from their homework for both days. The homework we checked on Monday was a review worksheet, and the homework we checked on Tuesday was a worksheet with sample questions from the AB AP Calculus exam.
An update on the BC topics: The student who had not known whether they would take the AB or BC test has decided not to take either because they had already taken a similar test back at home. No BC topics will be taught over the trimester, until after the AP exam date.
Not much happened, so I do not have the best pictures. If you want to see specific things, let me know, and I will post them right here!!

Attendance Article

The link above takes you to an article about attendance. The author really hits hard on the people that show up late. Not the people that show up late once every blue moon, but the people that show up late regularly. He says that those people are inconsiderate and rude. While what he says is true, and those people should get in trouble for always being late, I also believe that he was a little too harsh. He is willing to cut off his friendship with others because of this. I know somebody that is always late, and I would never think about cutting him out of my life. Of course, he is in my family, so that has something to do with it too, but I wouldn't do it to a friend either. However, I agree that being late regularly should be worked on to become less and less prominent.
Read the article for yourself, if you wish! It's a great read!!
