GOOGLY EYES!
As you may recall, last week I spent many an hour proctoring the Anatomy Lab midterm. I like to refer to that experience as having my googly eyes on the students. Today, the googly eyes were reversed, and I had the distinct pleasure of having 220 googly eyes on my as I taught the Anatomy Lecture. I was a bit concerned going into the lecture this morning, as I was to present 2 chapters in about 50 minutes, while the professor usually presents about 1/2-2/3 of a chapter in 50 minutes! So it was quite the task! I think it went pretty well, I covered the material I wanted to cover in about 35 minutes! Unfortunately there is not a clock in the classroom, so I didn't know I was speed-demoning my way through until the end when I finished and everyone looked overjoyed that they had gotten out early! Reports are in that I did not speak too quickly, even though I finished so quickly, so that's nice to hear! Most importantly, people seemed involved and actually engaged when I asked questions, so that was pretty great! And they laughed at my joke! E came in sat in to enforce some discipline and everyone was very well behaved! I was talking to E about the lecture as he kindly gave me a ride to my next class and he asked what my joke was that everyone had laughed at. Ummmmm, I'm not really sure...probably wasn't really a joke, probably more like the class just laughing (at me), but I feel that controlled, non-malicious, laughter mid-lecture is always a good sign!
