finals week
this is finals week for my teaching position at Cal Poly. i wrote my first final this week in preparation for that, even though i've been teaching there for 5 years. i have traditionally collected final projects for my class, but i think this will be a good way of providing an entrance exam to get into the next class that this is a prerequisite for.i teach beginning 3d modeling in FormZ to incoming freshmen architecture students in the fall quarter, as well as beginning Building Information Modeling (BIM) in ArchiCad to second year architecture students. we cover a lot of ground in ten weeks, and we only meet once a week. if they miss a class, they miss quite a bit. the excuses they come up with are pretty funny when they ask me why they receive the grade they did. most of my students do really well... but the ones who do poorly do very, very poorly. you can read in a past blog about some of the things my students do or say. it's pretty funny.
next quarter i will be adding an advanced 3d modeling course as well as intermediate web design to the mix. i will be there three days a week, so my time will be much tighter for those ten weeks. i hope to actually cancel classes a few weeks into it so i can get away to Truckee (near Lake Tahoe) for a week. i'm really looking forward to that.
