Heavy Grading

Why do I do these things to myself? I have, this weekend, homework to grade in all my classes, plus quizzes in Stats and Modern Algebra. (Not to mention that I have to look at three big thick applications for a teaching award.) The worst is the Modern Algebra homework. This is a heavy proof course, and the students are not good at writing proofs. At the beginning, I want to give them plenty of feedback, so I am reading every word of every proof for every student. Yuck. It is very, very, very, very slow going.

We're also trying to get the house straightened up, because we've got a couple of families coming over tomorrow to watch the Super Bowl. So I admit I'm not in a real good mood.
