Or at least almost for this semester. This past Thursday night was the final and I graded it before bed. Over all not as good as I had hoped since I thought they might have a better idea how I test and would have prepared differently.... yet some did extremely well including one student who blew me away by her vast improvement over her last performance.
One student needed my to pass my class to graduate - not a pressure that I enjoyed. After some high drama and last minute snafus, he was able to pull out a passing grade in my class. I was very thankful that I did not have to be the bearer of bad news and that he will graduate as planned.
Now that is over I am really glad and thankful that I had this opportunity to teach. Although at this point I will not be teaching in the Fall, I learned a lot from the students and the other faculty about teaching this semester. I have even begun to work on re-designing the class in my mind in little ways even though at this point I may not teach it again.
