Today, my lecturer gave me my latest quiz back, and we talked about my mistake a bit -- just didn't simplify quite enough -- and I don't know how it came up, but she told me I was very fair! lol I told her I was the one who made the mistake, and she still thought it was nice of me not to be upset with her! She really is very sweet.
I think she'd just had a complaint made against her, though. One of the students who is maybe not doing quite as well in the class was sitting just outside the associate staff area, and the lecturer was being spoken to quite seriously by one of the administrator types from the Maths department. I could hear a bit as I walked by on my way to the ladies room, and it was certainly about what it would take for her to get a passing grade. I hope it was only informational, because truly she is a good teacher.
She did point out, even, that the people who scored under 50% on the midterm had options to improve their grades -- and that most of the people with scores above 80% were spending considerable time in the math lab...
It's nice to get compliments. She even said that she might come by my complex to meet with my study group before the next midterm! lol How many of you have known lecturers who make house calls?
