Hey pubski, I'm sipping a Bailey's on ice and watching the CBC news on TV w/ my houseguests. Like galen "homework" is taking a long time. I have 40 students in one of my classes. They just handed in amazing one-page essays. 40. What's time consuming is figuring out how to respond to their content with positive comments and mention some of the style issues in a way that will motivate them rather than drive them away. I send them all personal emails in response to their assignments. Sometimes my email is longer than their essays. -- I have to stop that.
