Summer Session 1 is officially over. I made my class fill out the evaluation and I must say that I am pretty pleased. The only negative thing written was something that I was already aware of: that I wasn’t too sure on how to treat awkward silences/students who won’t participate.
Well, my initial goal was accomplished at least. According to them, I created an open, warm, and equal atmosphere comfortable enough for them to share in. Oh, and I was “enthusiastic,” but that could just be that I am a spaz.
I think the most rewarding moment was when I didn’t have to give them an activity. We just talked. I asked questions and they talked. About everything.
