A

Your presentation is awesome.

We laugh.

We cry.

You have us wrapped around your finger.

You show expertise in your philosophers.

You show how the philosopher's ideas illuminate possible answers to the question of the meaning of life.

You use thoughtful and creative examples to illustrate and explain the concepts.

I vow to work even harder at teaching so I can be as good as you some day

Signs to look for:

  • Elise stays for the whole class.
  • Austin is so moved by the moment that he bursts into song.
  • Talia is so excited by the debate that she slaps Mordechai on the head and yells “let’s get fired up”
  • Razelle demands we extend the study of the philosophers for another week.

B

Pretty good job.

We are interested.

Couple awkward moments where you don't really know what you are talking about.

You recover and all is good.

We leave class feeling like we learned something that can be used in this course.

Signs to look for:

  • Only a couple heads on desks - no snoring
  • Avigail is so distracted by the prezi she forgets to point out one of my shortcomings
  • Asaf takes off his Yankee hat out of respect to your presentation

C

It’s not clear exactly who is presenting because you have your back to us the whole time as you read from the screen.

No one has told you we can read too.

Your “facts” about your philosophers are so fascinating that we forget them as soon as we hear them.

We kind of understand what you are saying, but have NO IDEA how that connects to the meaning of life.

We leave class quickly, eager to move on to the next part of our day – even if this involves cafeteria food.

Sign to look for:

  • Chin in hand, I'm trying to be polite, but it is a losing battle. 10 minutes in and it’s lights out.
  • Kevin, bored to tears, spots a nearby book. It's the Communist Manifesto. He reads it.
  • A hold’em poker game breaks out in the back of the room. Raymond gets his aces cracked by Wyatt's flush on the river.

D

One word:

Awkward

Yes we are laughing...

not with you...

or even at you.

We are all just trying to do something

anything

to fill the horrible silence

The class throws money in a hat to collectively support your efforts to buy a clue.

We leave class feeling like we need a cold shower.

Signs to look for

  • People don't just nap - they get a deep, restorative sleep. It feels like they've slept for hours.
  • Paul is calculating Π in his head to the 135 decimal place.
  • Olivia and So Young pass notes back and forth debating if it would be possible to tunnel out of the classroom into room 277.

E

You fail to attend class on the day of your presentation for any reason without checking with me first.

Prezi Rubric

We leave class feeling like we’ve learned something important and we’re better for it.

But its cool.
