Hello all
And now for something completely different.
I was called into my supervisor's office yesterday. My physics stude=
nts think I am a bad teacher and accuse me of not answering questions=
etc etc.
I am like they don't ask questions. I ask them if they are getting i=
t and I get no response. =20
They just had their first test. They did horrible. This is a calc b=
ased class and they are all going to be engineers at a much tougher s=
chool than this.
I don't know what to do. I can't slow down anymore. I have to do so=
mething.
I also have a problem relating to some of the foreign students. I wo=
uld like some advice regarding this too.
I had a long talk with my students today begging them to ask question=
s telling them I can't help you if I don't know what you don't get. =
It makes perfect sense to me and if you don't tell me that it doesnt'=
make sense to you...I assume you got it.
