Now that I have all this time on my hands... Yeah right!

I finished my classes with a rush and flurry that I haven't had to experience in a long while. The coursework was not heavy during the year but the execution was the problem. Both teachers had problems keeping the class organized. I liked the professor for my morning class- I learned a great deal. However her lack of organization made the class difficult and I ended up having to write two papers at the end because there was little preparation up to those papers. The teacher was nice and understanding, but her organization needs improvement. In addition, she used a bunch of material from the teacher who taught it previously and it added to the chaos. I hope she rewrites those assignments and makes them her own.

The afternoon class was made more difficult not because the teacher was disorganized, but rather because she was crazy. She would make it a point to name drop some of the more important educators out there. She obsessed over some of our fellow students' facial hair(creepy!) and would change her mind often on how things were graded. There was so much confusion in that class that while I did the work, I'm not sure what grade I'm going to get. She said I would have a "solid A" but then again she's crazy, so that could very well change.

I'm just glad I'm done and I can move on. Next semester I'm taking two classes, one is the next step in my education coursework and another is an online course I need to complete for my dual certification in Social Studies. Hopefully I got good grades but I won't know until Dec. 24th. Early Christmas gift? We'll see.

Update: I just checked my grades, 'A' for both of them. Fantastic!
