New semester, new students. In response to the prompt "What is your quest?" they said
- to seek the Holy Grail (most popular response, 5)
- pass this class / to complete all my assignments / master C++ / achieve all the knowledge
- find riches / find El Dorado
- vengeance
- sleep (x3)
- to have a good day / be happy / live my best life
- Je veux apprendre le français.
- to follow that star
- survive
- self-actualization
This is a good variety of goals and I'm glad the students are thinking at such a wide range of timescales and achievement levels. Hopefully everyone got good sleep over the weekend and is ready to jump into some math tomorrow.
This post's theme word is obtrude (v), "to impose one's ideas/opinions", or "to thrust forward or intrude." The process of teaching is one of a series of obtruding lectures and enticing examples.
