Field blog NDCL #3

I sat in on another one of Mr. Plumley's senior theology classes. This time the seniors were much more well behaved. Mr. Plumley started the class off by reviewing the previous material and asking very detailed questions. This forced the students to look back through their notebooks and answer the questions that he was asking. It also showed the students who did not take good notes, how important detailed note taking is. He also made sure to remind the students that the end of the quarter is rapidly approaching and said that the exam is cumulative. However, he told them that the exam would focus more heavily on the recent material than the material at the beginning of the school year. I thought that this was very generous of him. He also said that he is almost finished with the study guide for the exam. This showed me that he genuinely wants his students to do well on the exam because the exam is not for another two weeks. Most teachers that I've had gave out study guides a few days before the exam. Rarely would a teacher give us a study guide a whole week in advance.
