impoverished artifices

I feel as though I found a little resolution to one of my concerns from day one: how static the course goals are in relation to the values that I will place on the student work. From Dani's great workshop, I'm encouraged to know that these goals aren't as fixed as I, at times, was reading. And, this makes sense in accordance with most everything else that's been said during the orientation. Perhaps, I just got caught up in course goals and results from a few discussions/talks.

The continued benefit of CC has been appropriating tips and techniques from fellow instructors. Particularly, Kristi's reminder to "be yourself" was worthwhile for focusing on the very immediate parts of being an instructor. Dave had some great ideas for workshopping and his method of list-creation was a good example of an effective strategy in itself.
