Sign ups

My students are doing final posters for both classes. They will present them in a joint final poster session on Thursday. One class has to sign up to print their posters. The other has to sign up to stand by them. The posters are all due at exactly the same time and everyone has to be there for the entire session (thus, standing by your poster later has no time advantage). In both cases they are rushing to sign up for the latest possible spot. Fascinating. Even the ones who have to present work from both classes (and who I assumed would want a 30 min break between needing to stand by posters) are signing up for the later spot.

    i noticed this behaviour too while in school these past few years. i think it's a generational thing and stops once, they, if ever, decide to advance beyond the iphone and go to grad school where then school takes on a completely different meaning.
