What I'd Say...

Can you believe it? I'm half way through week two already. Things are settling down and I'm beginning to get a grip on things. The two groups I'm teaching are potential BA students and one of them is having great difficulties with the work. However, I've talked it through with my DoS and I have a plan for the next three weeks. This makes me happy.

I'm still feeling a little out of my depth because so much depends on the students passing this course (although both of my groups will have a further five week course after I've finished with them). So, in theory, it doesn't all depend on me but I do want to do my best for them (damn, I must be turning into a proper teacher). On top of all this, I'm learning so much. Things I would have appreciated knowing before doing my DELTA (let alone my degree) - I really think I've been winging it all these years. Of course, my motto is "If you can't blind them with brains, baffle them with bullshit" which has worked quite well over the years. (OK that isn't my motto but it seemed to fit the moment).

I do have a motto but it's in Latin (I think - I got it from the internet a long, long time ago). NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT. I leave it to you to work it out.
