I'm killing time until the GSU meeting. Again. And wishing I didn't have to go, because I was getting work done until I opened LJ. At least I'm a co-rep, which means I only have to show up every other month. I really shouldn't complain about a two hour commitment every other month. And I wouldn't, if it didn't mean that I lose three nights in a row. And if I didn't have a four hour lecture to look forward to tomorrow.
My study group today when suprisingly well, especially for the Monday group, most of whom normally prefer to emulate statues during study group. I'm becoming a big fan of group presentations. It's a little less pressure for the students than targeting them individually for answers would be, but it's still interactive. And the time passes a whole lot faster if ten minutes of it is spent watching them flip through their books. ;) I think one of the best parts about being a TA for this class is the opportunity to run four study groups per week. While in many ways that's a pain, it also means that I get to try out different techniques with the same material and see how it works. I'm finding it very educational.
Time for the meeting.
