Jilli, I'm so sorry for your loss, and am wishing strength for your father, and for you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm so sorry, Jilli.
I just had a meeting where all the Calc II instructors got together to go over the first draft of the midterm. This meeting ended up as about 45 minutes of people screaming at each other.

Oh Jilli. Massive amounts of hugs. And all comfort and support to your dad.
It makes me think of the shoe company one of the characters in The Big Chill owned. "Running Dog," I think
Me too. "I'm never taking these off." As much as I dislike Wm. Hurt, our family uses that phrase all the time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Leibniz vs. Newton thing?
Sorry. Why do all the instructors share one midterm?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Jilli, I am so sorry. Poor you and your poor dad--such a lot of loss for you both to deal with.

Oh, Teppalina, H heard me investigating the pantry last night seeking rice pasta answers for you, and today he investigated while shopping for us. The rice pasta shells are actually whole-grain brown rice pasta by Tinkyada. The recommended cooking time is 14-16 minutes, and it takes every second of it, maybe more. Tasty though, once it is actually done.

It's to standardize the grades and what's being taught. There are about 20 instructors here teaching Calc II, and 40 teaching Calc I, so the midterms and finals are the same for all the classes to make sure that everybody's learning the same thing and that there doesn't end up being some instructors who give better grades for the same work.
This time, several of us had some constructive criticism about the first draft -- one question was worded badly, one question required way too much work for the number of points it was worth, and there was a particular type of function that was asked about far too many times while ignoring some other types. Several of the people who wrote the exam got quite insulted when anyone suggested a change to a question they'd written.
