The three videos my media students watched for the 'listening comprehension' portion of their final exam

To which I might add the following: 1) Getting a VPN so we could view YouTube unlocked was totally worth it this semester, and 2) Dang, I love my job!







Testing with Ernie (and Cookie Monster)

Pictured: One of the five classrooms full of students (about 260 altogether - thank goodness for proctors, multiple choice, and computer-scanned answer sheets) taking the test this afternoon, trying to figure out what Ernie and Cookie Monster are up to.

    Funny clips...but I hope there's also a value to the students in learning to comprehend Cookie Monster and Monty Python accents.

    Believe me, having the students not give up on trying to understand something that's not a crisply spoken language tape dialogue about some aspect of university life has been one of my biggest challenges....
