A Pedagogue's Progress |
Friday, January 30, 2009
Enforced productivity I have been surprisingly productive this past week. According to my meticulously constructed Academic Planner (Term 1 2009) -- itself an effort at imposing order upon chaos -- I am ahead of schedule by one full set of lecture notes! This is assuming I dispense with our northern neighbours by Sunday evening, before a declining Liverpool take on Chelsea at midnight. Thursday, January 15, 2009
New year, new subject Initial fears have temporarily subsided, but may very well be resurrected once J1 classes start and the pressure of having to churn out lecture notes increases. I am actually rather looking forward to GP; it should prove a nice foil to History, and vice-versa. The focus, as usual, will be on writing, thinking, and reading -- on cultivating certain attitudes toward the world and oneself. Politics and the English Language will be one of the first texts on the reading list. |
