Now that they're chronologically adults, it's up to them to not schedule back-to-back classes on opposite sides of the campus, especially if they have the attitude that an eight o' clock class is too terrible to even consider.<br />I don't feel that the proffies' problem of students mentally checking out before Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331203839723194193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-59170431147426924922014-10-17T19:11:12.706-04:002014-10-17T19:11:12.706-04:00I agree entirely.

We have a giant clock in all our classrooms which is visible to everyone, and while I do not appreciate students noisily packing up their belongings 5 minutes before class ends, nor do I ever keep them later, since I can see the clock, I just manage everything so that we end on time (typically, 1 minute before the clock hits the actual end of class) Admittedly this is Programming Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838328277067778125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-54742919323735657962014-10-16T18:32:11.892-04:002014-10-16T18:32:11.892-04:00slowly fading in ...?

I programmed in a 10-minute warning tone before the end of every class, and then slowly fades in rock music 1 minute before the end. I train the Little Dears to know that I will end class on time, and then shoot Death Rays with my eyes at anyone "slowly zipping up the backpack 5 minutes before the end."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02906546940408742913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-48505256019280627212014-10-16T15:40:35.788-04:002014-10-16T15:40:35.788-04:00This one, I actually kind of agree with.

But it happens to me, too -- I lose track of time sometimes. What puzzles me is why students don't just say, "I think we're out of time." They're afraid to point out the time, but not to beg me for a grade change. So odd.
