I think I pulled the “suicide” slide off considerably well, I could have talked about the gender differences slide, but I felt a little rushed in the end. When I had everyone pass their cards down, it was hard for me to focus and talk over everyone. I was focused and calm when I went up there, but the shuffling and commotion, as well as the time crunch made me feel a little uneasy. I shouldn’t have let that affect me, but I wasn’t mentally prepared for it. I learned that there’s many distractions (especially at the end of class) that professors consistently have to talk over. Like my experience, I’m sure there are times when you felt that no one was listening to what you were saying. It was a little frustrating, but all in all, it went well. Compared to last semester, I was more prepared this semester, but the outcome was completely different. I think thats the way teaching is…one big experiment. Sometimes, it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but it’s being conscious of your surroundings and being able to identify the moment when successes (or failures) occurred, so that you can replicate them (or not) in the future.
