Quantum poets
Jun. 15th, 2011 02:55 pmToday we didn't write much poetry. I reviewed the fine art of reviewing instead. When students said "We can't think of a film to review" I had them review the class. They wrote some of the funniest reviews I have ever read. I was in Evil Teacher mode, you see, and so they reviewed our class as taught by Evil Teacher.
We're now a third of the way through the quantum physics book, and the only complaint today was that there wasn't enough time spent on science. We were finishing a chapter and it all added up to about two lines of deep thought. They were two very important lines, however (about measuring the spectrum and about light as particles).
Instead of having a word of the day, we had bunches and bunches of Australian slang. Everyone's favourite piece of slang was 'rat coffin,' leading to a general resolution by the group that lunch together after class that they would not be getting meat pies.
Today's class had a personality. We laughed almost the whole way through. Students played jokes on each other and on me. We all gave cheek to each other. There were mock arguments. It was a great deal of fun.
