I submitted my grades yesterday afternoon (with almost 24 hours to spare!) btw- for a
great post on grading, check out
Mel's
Xtreme Grading Championships! I now have three weeks until Spring semester starts. In that time, I need to:
- finish Xmas stuff last-minute shopping, shipping gifts to family out west, cards, etc.
- revise my conditionally accepted paper
- plan my classes for next semester I am changing texts in my freshmen course and want to try out more interactive teaching methods
- get some research done- I have
two three conferences late in the spring
So, it really won't be much of a "break". Oh yeah- my tenure package goes out to external reviewers in May and my annual report is due in January. Oh yeah- I also have a proposal to revise for January 5th and .... ! And my daughter will be out of school for two of the next three weeks!
