Time to get my ass in gear again (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach


Well...

I slept in 'till eight.

I've watched The guns of Navarone (great movie!) to relax a little.

I've had breakfast.

I've read part of John Siracusa's in-depth review of Leopard.

Now it's time to stop slacking and get my ass into gear again!

UP AND AT'EM, ATOM ANT!

I'm falling behind, but I have to keep going (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

*yaaaawn* So, it's about two AM now and I'm still up, hacking at a report. Lemme tell you, that's one F-ing big assingment.

The course in question is Didactics in maths 2, a second-year class. Sweet Jeebus, do they pile on the work! Dossier report 6 (out of 12) alone is at least twelve hours of work. For this assignment I'm given a maths test and the answer sheets for five students.

I'm expected to:
1. Take the test myself, to find out the correct answers.
2. Define an initial scoring sheet for the test.
3. Score each of the students' results against my sheet.
4. Analyse the crap out of my scoring method.
5. Adjust my scoring to suit the best practices seen in high school.
6. Re-score the students' results.
7. Re-analyse my scoring, to see what has changed.
8. If need be, re-re-adjust everything.
9. Go over the test itself to see if it follows the best practices.
10. Write an analysis of the test and its shortcomings.
11. Determine how I would discuss the test's results in class.
12. Draw conclusions from the test's outcome. Have we reached all of our goals?

Good grief! Don't get me wrong: I'm loving every minute of this. It's just that this assignment is H.U.G.E.! More like sixteen hours, than the twelve I mentioned earlier.

Ah, fuggit... I'm going to bed. I've reached a point at which it is alright to save my work and close up show for the night. I'll work a bit longer tomorrow.

A very busy schedule (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

My whiteboard with the plan for the next three weeks


I'm very happy that I have taken three weeks off, starting next Monday. I really wouldn't be able to make all the preparations for the Anime 2007 festival, since I'll be driving around the country in a van to gather a lot of Big Stuff (tm) that needs to go to Almelo.

Up there you'll see my schedule for the next three weeks. Items in blue are activities that I'll be doing for the festival, work, or our relationship. Items in red are sports-related. As you see only the last four days of my holiday are empty, meaning that I can relax and rest up a little by then. Everything else is booked solid...

Well, here I go! *strikes fighting position* Ikuso!

EDIT:
After I left Marli of course took it upon herself to make guests of our household think that I'm a complete loon. She's left literary greats such as "Boobies rule!", "Cat's are great" and "I *heart* Thomas" littered across the board. Knowing that my wife can enjoy herself with such silliness really makes me love her even more :D
