Keep It Simple, Stupid

With the Fall 2014 Semester in the rearview mirror and the Spring 2015 Semester fast approaching, I want to take a few minutes to reflect on the past and plan for the future in this brief breathing space we call winter break. I was feeling pretty good about my fall semester. I really really enjoyed the classes that I taught and thought my students did some really amazing work. Then I read the final reflections of my students. Most confirmed my happy glow, but there was one student who burst my bubble of happiness and crushed my confidence. There’s always one. I’ve been trying to tell myself that, but it isn’t working terribly well. I’ve been contemplating a blog post to respond to that one student, but in the meantime I’m going to take stock of what went well, what went wrong, and what needs fixing (aka the good, the bad, and the ugly)
