I’m going to keep this blog topic short and sweet—and not because it is due in less than an hour, but just because I expect only Molly, Ben, and maybe some interns to read it.

Things I want to work on this summer:

1.    I would like to get better at sets.  These really disappeared at times with the occasional exception (e.g., discussion over drug turf wars).

2.    Less talking, more work for students.  Now that I have taught my subjects twice and know my lessons pretty well, I need to make them more succinct.  I noticed that second semester I became more to-the-point.  I hope that trend continues.

3.    Consistency.  I think I will be working on this for a looooooong time.

Something I do well:

1.    Other than party like it’s 1999?  I’d like to think that I can break things down for students.  This doesn’t happen all the time and I was actually not sure if I was doing a good job of this until I had students review my class.  Generally, they thought I broke topics down so they could get it (even though everyone agrees “Mr. Lasseter you TOO MUCH”).
