Well, I really don't see Amy after 930-10PM; her friends from San Diego are in town and she has enjoyed spending time with them but the big news is - we thought today (Monday) was her last full day in town - we kept saying she leaves Tuesday, June 8th but the 8th is Wednesday! We got in our tour of the Appian Way (Quo Vadis?) and had a great dinner (in the rain) up at the Colosseum - what a treat to see it at night.
School is going well; I think most of the students are used to me by now and learning to work with me on an interactive learning model with a heavy reliance on discussion. They have the first part (and the most work) of their semester projects due tomorrow. They are building a country Notebook wherein they are profiling an EU country and providing all the vital statistics and relevant historical, geographic and economic background. In part II of the project the students choose a company operating in that country and profile their operations; in Part II they make a set of strategic recommendations to this company for enhancing/improving operations based on their critical analysis. I'm still getting some questions like "how long does it have to be?" and when I answer "as long as it needs to be to answer my critical questions but about 5-7 pages" they ask - "what if we're over/under?" Students are students all over.
