Sometimes it works

I had a fabulous lunch today with one of the students. She is doing very well on the course, and has been to both revision tutorials – just to argue with me. She is not used to getting less than an A, so she is pissed she is running A-‘s and B+’s.

She let slip that among her daily reading of the Entertainment Industry ‘news’ she reads, she is starting to look critically at the science and health news: how good is the study? what’s the data like? can they really say that? 
I nearly wept. One of her counters the on-going discipline problems, the absentee students, students that bitch about bad grades who don’t come to class, the students who just don’t try.
