i thing i do that i like but is also scary is ask for student feedback at the middle of the quarter. it's usually helpful or illuminating. this comment made me happy about "what's working well" : "honestly the way you teach and put your words together"

Ok so I ended up on Tallulah Bankhead's Wikipedia page and man has she had a life, but in reading the "sexuality and sexual exploits" section I came across:

And I think that's an amazing word.
