Class Update

Midterms did not go as well as I would liked but I realized as I was making the test that I had covered much more material than I realized. Of course this being the first time I taught I am learning many things in hindsite. So in the end I had to curve the scores so that the range of grades were more reasonable.

This week the students are presenting on their temperament type as per the Keirsey Temperament Sorter. A personality test based on the Myers Briggs Indicator test. It groups the 16 personality types into 4 Temperament. Very similar to the DISC personality inventory and a few others that I have taken.

Unfortunately there are no students who ended up in the "Rational" -Very Intellectual/ Logical and Non-Emotional personality type. This does not surprise me too much since Micronesians are very relational and the those with a Rational personality type tend to be more of a loner. Of course I am sure there are probably some of that type that exist but not in the 24 students in my class.

However what this does mean is that I am not off the teaching hook for this week completely. I will have to present on the last temperament type. Although hopefully this week I will spend my time preparing at the pool. :o)
