4000TH POST!
And to mark the solemnity of the occasion, a proposed syllabus revision, borrowed from a gchat conversation. On participation:
"Good preparation is vital to discussion, and discussion is a central part of any classroom experience. To ensure proper student participation, students will be required to submit a one-page reading response at the beginning of each class session. Failure to submit these papers or participate in discussion will result in a lower participation grade and may result in objects (pieces of chalk, books, rocks) being thrown at students by the instructor."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."

haha--I don't know if you can quote yourself from a gchat! Or at least you can't quote yourself and pretend you aren't!
I like the threat, but I have a lot of doubts about the merits of reading responses. We'll talk.
