It's that time of year again. . . I look through the sheaf of student comments to see what I did well, and what I didn't do well. I actually really hate going through student comments, because I want to be liked, and my trusty "gain self-worth through praise of others" instinct kicks in pretty well.
As I anticipated, my 16th Century lit course was rough in spots. Some students were really unimpressed; one reminded me several times that this isn't grad school. the other one thought I was mad at the class all the time and advised me to find a job I actually like.
The best comment however: "he rambles in connection to comedies [movies] that many of us have never seen."
perhaps I should make the Mel Brooks catalogue a prerequisite??

Gentle Sir Philip Sidney, thou knew'st what belong'd to a scholler; thou knew'st what pains, what toil, what travail conduct to perfection.
About Me
- Piers
- West Tennessee, United States
- "I am grown at length to see into the vanity of the world more than ever I did, and now I condemn myself for nothing so much as playing the dolt in print . . . . There is nothing that if a man list he may not wrest or pervert. I cannot forbid any to think villainously, Sed caveat emptor, let the interpreter beware; for none ever heard me make allegories of an idle text."
