Exit slip 11.11.10

Well today, I spent most of my time in advising rather than in class. I was in the same building though if that helps any. I came back for the last 20 minutes of class, but I assume they were given some free-time to work since there was no discussion going on and people were chattering about the room looking at various projects and assignments. So, today I learned that I really value work time in class, especially since I have a hectic schedule with 2 jobs, various demanding classes, a car that breaks down all the time, and an expensive gym membership that I use to relieve the stresses of my day. I think it's important to consider the crazy lives of our students and that when we assign large projects, it may be helpful for most to have a work day or two, so they can make progress and not be overwhelmed by the depth of the assignment in comparison to all their other tasks and events that they have to attend and complete.
