Giving a Practical
At this very moment, I am putting 30 some students through their paces by giving them the Introduction to Multimedia Practical exam. For the most part, they do well, but I can't help but wonder about some of them as I walk around and see totally un-related stuff on their screens like Microsoft Excel documents popping up and the like. The other frustration right now is that we're in a mixed Mac OS X & Mac OS 9 atmosphere where not all of the applications work their best as the computer needs to switch back and forth between modes... the interface changes notably from one mode to the other. Poor kids. At least they get a second chance if this first practical hammers them. After two tries I usually have no more than one or two kids from each section that don't pass in the end.
Anyway, the subject of this first practical exam is a review of a website about polar bears. It's very cold up here in Rochester right now and I'm sure no one appreciates it very much. The 2nd practical that I'll be giving today has to do with hedge mazes... should be fun.
