13. Discussion ???? Topics for thought
List some of your highs and lows, how can you improve the lows?
Example, I was always just one day ahead, now that I have been through it once, I aim to stay a week ahead
One thing you learned from this year that will help you next year?
Grading, always struggled to keep up with grading, learned to balance classes so each class had 15-20mins of work-time that allowed me to do some grading
Challenges of being gone (sick, personal, student org.)
My first year, thought I was a bad teacher for having students watch movies or do a textbook assignment, learned that sometimes those can be the best teaching tools
