drscottNot much to report here. Tonight was ECR's Plus graduation, but alas! -- my battery ran out before the actual ceremony and I forgot to bring the extra. So I have some shots of the dancing but nothing else.
This was one of the largest classes we've ever had, and Harlan got a big hand for doing a terrific job of teaching. It has been interesting seeing someone use a very different teaching style from Andy's; in some ways Harlan's minimal descriptions of the new call we're about to do seems less confusing than some of Andy's occasionally meandering (though entertaining) explanations. But Andy has the "diva" gene, and we love him for it... [heh]
Oh, and Paul looked very butch mowing the yard over the weekend:

Date: 2005-05-26 12:12 pm (UTC)Harlan hasn't done much detailed "dance by definition" teaching, which I suspect only confuses the typical class member who has yet to reach the stage where they can imagine geometrically what is about to happen. This is probably best left for post-Plus extended teaching, preparatory to Advanced. Verbal descriptions of calls are hard to do well, and sometimes it's better just to do it than to talk about it.
