Typically at the end of Semester we have the usual dramas. Students failing themselves. Students submitting (but not checking) their assignments. Students not getting the work done. Typical typical. Not any surprises. But for some reason this semster has been a little more fraught than usual.
Students aren't aware that they actually grade themselves. How well they do is usually a function of 90% how much work they put in and 10% talent.
Those who work hard ususually do well.
This is something I must remind myself of while doing the PhD. Hmmmm.

The World Game
I have taken an interest in the soccer, for probably the first time seriously.
It has been fun watching Australia lose, Algeria draw against England.
I confess to two 4am starts and to staying up until 2am last night.
Other news. DJ becomes an Australian on Tuesday. I'm so happy for him.
PhD going okay. Getting it done, but need to stop phaffing around with graphs and get on with it. I've been quite rigorous, so Andy should be happy.
Work's okay, really loving teaching design. The Photoshop class has been great. Really enjoyed it and the class. Lovely people. The web class not so good, still nice folk but they're just not into it. Gamers as usual are fab. I feel quite excited about the future of a lot of them. Very talented bunch.
