Classes this semester

My students this semester so far seem interested and excited. It is not difficult to get discussions started, and people seem prepared to move forward with the work for the semester. That makes me happy. What if they continue this cooperative? It would make my day, every day! But it's early yet. I hope my skepticism is unwarranted. Spring can often be more rather than less difficult than fall as far as students' willingness and preparation go.
Perhaps this is an extension of the good will I've seen out there in the world now that we're into changing the bad old policies of the Bush regime. Let's hope that good will continues, both in and outside of the classroom.
