Pulling teeth

Today I had to teach the Harley Davidson case study 4 times for MKT1002. The first two times were pretty good.

The third time, one of the students asked to leave with 10 mins to go - to go to an MCT - which it turned out most of them had to go to... I'd finished most of the material but it was OK.

The final session was painful. I started by asking how they did with their last week's self directed study. Seemed most hadn't done it. They were whiney - I later went through the brief and there was nothing difficult about it at all. They were uncommunicative, vacant - only about 6 contributing well.

Near the end, I twigged: they had just had a multiple choice test for MKT1001. It had finished them off. Wonder if I could have done anything differently. I think probably not.
