Tonight I had the librarian talk to the class about researching for their documented argument essay. She is always so good and involves the students in the discussion. This is a very helpful evening for the students and for me. I also went over the assignment and powerpoint explanation for them. They have to submit their topic next week. I hope that I get some good ones and not just the same old stuff. This is the last formal essay that they will be writing and it is weighted the heaviest in their final grade. Good overall participation tonight.

Tonight was not a good night at all. Had very poor attendance-lots of emails telling me they weren't going to make it to class. Then right before class, another instructor who didn't identify himself came into my office and asked if I could get some student ID numbers for him. I asked who he was and then asked if he had a roster or could I print one for him. He picked up his stuff and left. Didn't say a word-how rude. Really ruined my night. Then when I got to class the document reader went out on me when I was using it. I could tell some of the people who were in class didn't want to be here anyway. I guess everyone has a bad night once in awhile. Next time will be better. I hope!!!
