More Highs and Lows

High: A generous handful of students radically improved their grades on this last test. I think that real world evaluations helped.

Low: A handful of students packed it in. They just quit. One went from a 34 to a 17 average.

High: Students really enjoyed the measurement lab today.

Low: A student broke a meterstick over another student. He wasn't trying to hurt him, just being a chowder-head.

Another Low: A student took a wood-screw and scratched obscenities into my lab counters. I didn't see them do it, but I know that some student did. The fact that it's directed at me is more than a little disturbing. I think that we will make it a group project to sand out the obscenities before that class is allowed back in the lab.
