Do you manage expected #student work load, care for their #workload, rely on #students to self-manage their #work#load? Or, how do you relate otherwise in your #teaching to the hours students are to engage in studying?
Today is a very busy day for me. In Italy, the week of "Ferragosto" (15 August) almost everything comes to a halt.
For me, it means double work: during the preceding week (this one), I need to wrap up tasks for those who will be on vacation, and during the next week, I'll take the opportunity to perform tasks that I can't when others are working. The result is that this is one of the busiest periods of the year, but that's perfectly fine. Many years ago, the week of Ferragosto was perfect for traveling abroad and handling work from there. Now, I do a lot more things online, so there's less need for travel.
I've started setting up Wiki.js for the bsd.cafe website - I'm trying to figure out whether to manage it as a simple wiki (like wiki.bsd.cafe) or use it as the project's homepage as well.
2 hours a day?? On admin tasks?? Can't be right. No teacher should be doing anywhere close to that, I've certainly never done and that includes when I was doing 55+ hour weeks at the start of my career.
