olivia_sutton | Weather, and Doctor Who Quotes, part 1

Hi all,

This morning we got even more snow, and my drive in to work for the monthly staff meeting was pretty treacherous. The meeting only lasted an hour though, and then I started working on next week's lesson plans (because somehow in all the rush and worry to teach this week, I'd forgotten about last week). So I worked on those for hours, only to discover I had forgotten my flash drive. I ended-up just e-mailing everything I had worked on to myself. But the MOST frustrating thing was another instructor pointed out that the assignments and quizes and such I was entering into gradebook (our new software) had to be weighted. I kinda' blinked and said "Weighted?". Well, for the XP class this was pretty straight forward. For the computers and office productivity course - it was a nightmare, because the class doesn't have any quizes according to the syallbus - but I wanted to have weekly quizzes over the homework and reading. So now I don't know what to do - should I grade the quizzes as part of homework? Have quizzes but not grade them? Take some weight from the in-class labs and projects and add it to quizzes? I have no idea at this point. So I guess I'll need to talk to Wilson or Eric about it - but this afternoon I was so frustrated I didn't want to talk to anyone quite yet, til I had a chance to think about it. -- The other instructors keep telling me it gets better, and I certainly hope so!

But on to quotes. My DW quote list is in order by episode and Doctor, so that's how I'm presenting them, tho' a re-arrangement by category would be fun (and would make for a great book!). I'm starting with classic Who quotes, but I will get into the new series, and probably *Torchwood* as well (Tho' TW isn't as quotey).
