One day to go.
Students gave their website presentations in one class at Samford this evening. We made them dress up and talk us through their site, describing their layout, thought process and explanation of why they added some features and omitted others.
The sites look good.
Dr. C., who’s been teaching for my entire lifetime, was impressed by their efforts. The students have only been working in Dreamweaver for three weeks, but many of them have created nice portfolio sites.
Now we just have to upload them.
At the end of the class I thanked them for the patience, bragged on them for struggling through the new software and encouraged them to keep at it.
They didn’t want to see mine. Something about getting home to see Lost.
Full day otherwise. Grading here, printing there, Emailing everyone. It was the this and that of putting the semester to bed. Somehow it ate up the day.
I did manage to scan a handful of things for Tumblr and the blog. These are all just ads from ancient editions of the campus newspaper. There are folders in a file cabinet by my desk and I’m leafing through them all. A lot of interesting things happened in the 1970s.
The Yankee and I spent the late night sitting on the sofa. No studying, no deadlines. It was a nice change of pace.
Tomorrow is the last final. The summer starts around 4 p.m.
