Learning, Writing, Teaching, and Laughing
As I said last week, I’m doing a series of posts that I hope will help new teachers and that will show students some of the tricks of the trade so that they can maybe figure out how to work with teachers and do well in “the system.” This week’s post discusses how to craft major assignments (as if you couldn’t tell by the title).
With the coming of spring comes the final push at the end of the academic semester. So, I figured that it would be a good time to reveal a few more teacher secrets.

It’s a situation of *poof* here’s your instructor. Now, start writing. Here are my secrets to taking good, reliable class notes.
