Being a part of the past peer mentor panel in class on Thursday was a very interesting experience to me. I had a lot of fun answering the questions do not get me wrong, but sometimes it was not easy to think of a good example of problems I had with my group last year. Even though it took a long time for my group to open up last year, they all got along really well (thank goodness). In my opinion the hardest thing I had last year was learning to deal with personality differences between my co-leader and myself. We did not go to all out war and duke it out, but we just had very different styles of teaching. Something that I want to take away from the panel was Megan's system for make up assignments. She had a very precise way of handling make ups that would be beneficial to the student.
Now for DST! I do not think there are words to accurately describe how amazed I am at how it turned out. We all know the credit for how it turned out goes to Josh and his awesome editing skills! Woot! Woot!
Finally, our final retreat of the year. Bowling! I had a ton of fun bowling with everyone. It was a great way to spend a stormy day and to do something fun together. If anyone is willing to do it again randomly next fall I would be happy to do it!!

Brooke, we definitely need to go bowling again! It was a lot of fun! I hope dealing with someone with a very different style of teaching isn't too bad because I'm sure that's how some of us will be paired up. Thanks for answering the questions asked during class!
ReplyDeleteBrooke, I found your examples, along with Megan and Josh's, to be very helpful for preparing in the fall. The DST video turned out better than I imagined it would! I really enjoyed bowling too, I like that it gave us all a chance to hang out outside of class.
