My Worst Evaluation Ever

• Dr. J wasted our time with a wide variety of
  assignments instead of just testing us on our
  scientific understanding
• He spent too much time on non-traditional
  topics when he should have just concentrated on
  Immunology
• Dr. J always tried to be creative and
  innovative, instead of just teaching us the
  science we wanted to learn

Technology In The Classroom
in the winter of 1813-1814 . . . I attended a
mathematical school kept in Boston . . . on
entering his room, we were struck at the
appearance of an ample Blackboard suspended on
the wall, with lumps of chalk on a ledge below,
and cloths hanging at either side. I had never
heard of such a thing before.
- May, 1866

Deep Thought Of The Day
One thing a computer can do that most humans
can't is be sealed up in a cardboard box and sit
in a warehouse. - Jack Handey
