Rut-Ro!
The only time I feel like I am in a rut is when we are in the classroom for more than a day. That only happens at the begining of the year with the first year students. After that, we are in the lab more. There is one other time that I feel that way. I have some advanced (seniors) students that do not feel that they should put forth much effort. I get aggrevated time and time again at their lack of particapation. We are starting a small remodel project on campus that I hope will make them shine! I guess being so busy doesn't allow me to feel like I'm in a rut either.
Hi, Rod - you are too funny - your post title really got my attention. I also like that you feel 'rutted' if not in the lab regularly - great! Keep taking your students to the lab, but make sure they are safe and have meaningful tasks to preform - keeps them from acting out their 'rut-ro's' as well.
