My seniors surprised me on Friday, in all three of my Economics classes. I gave them the assignment sheets for the project and told them to get into groups of 4 and start brainstorming. And they did! I didn't have to keep reminding the groups to stay on task. The questions were, "Can we do this?", not, "Would this be right?"
This is a one-semester, core class. This semester's crop aren't screwing around like last semester's seniors were. I don't know if it's because it's so close to graduation. I still have a lot of ditchers. I still expect them to start panicking around April. But for now, I'll enjoy the work ethic.
