Disability, Cheese & tree surgery

Planning the multi-choice test next week, Gil pointed out I'll have to make special provision for Stephen who has a disability. Was surprised that I hadn't had any notification about Stephen's special needs - or any others likely to be in this 70+ class. Not sure where this info is meant to come from.

Talking to Gary the other day he told me about his sister (a lecturer) who used the technique of calling out names from the register and asking people for their opinion. I tried it in a MKT1002 seminar group - the first girl wouldn't admit who she was - I didn't push it, called out a different name instead - this time he answered - and it was fine - plus helped me to know who it was. Might try it again - not sure if too confrontational.

Had a good MKT2003 late session - one of my favourite groups. It was a case study, but I used the white board more CSI Miami this time - pulling in a definition of the Hawthorne Effect from the net, pictures of cheese and tree surgeons. 6 students are defecting from the Friday group into this session - all a good crowd.

Have picked up some eggs to demonstrate the hen tracking thing M&S do for my sustainability lecture. I can't decide whether the impact is worth the effort of taking eggs to work!

Jacky sent me a cool video about the necessity of being 'remarkable'.
