Dear TBLers
So, this is an interesting reflection perhaps on student maturity.
I'm so excited that students are so engaged they stay for applications even
though there are no grades. However, in a first year classroom teaching a
general education requirement if there is no grade attached to applications
I would have few if any folks staying.
