I still need to step back and reflect on paper, but I agree.

The topics they remember most and the questions they answer with eagerness and flair--I am always so pleased to hear these narrations and know that the books are working their magic. ;) And then the areas in which they seem timid, unsure, like they're just going through the motions...well, those are the areas I pinpoint to rethink, reimagine...or sometimes just tweak if I think that tweak will get us to where we need to be. To see exams as an opportunity for understanding the student and the process better rather than a chance to punish poor performance--good stuff. :)Celestenoreply@blogger.com
