Mr. Decaen said I was doing very well in lab, and clearly preparing for the classes well and thinking about the readings, but that even though some people in the class needed to be told they were wrong, I might be able to do it more charitably. His closing words included, "Mr. Ruedig has a sharp mind, and also a sharp manner."

Mr. Collins said I was doing well in seminar, and also was paying more attention to the text and asking deeper questions, and had improved since last semester, when I was already doing well. He also said I had a very good oral final, better than he expected, in fact.

Miss Zedlick said she was dis­s­a­poin­ted after hearing all the praise from the previous two tutors with my performance in Latin, because I was doing average work, not really better or worse than last semester. It doesn't seem that studying makes that much of a difference then, because I've been working really hard on Latin lately, and still getting the same grades. Bleah.

Mr. Clark said I was doing very well in math, and clearly had a mind suited for it and a solid foundation in mathematical concepts and thinking. He did say that he caught me unaware with one prop last semester, but it hasn't happened again, and that I should keep up with my preparations for class and not slack off.

Mr. Wodzinski didn't have the nicest things to say though. He knew I was bright enough, and he didn't think it was a matter of not preparing enough, but that I appeared apathetic in philo­sophy, like I didn't care enough to pay attention or talk. I admit this is actually kindof true, because we had a few really bad classes, and it's been hard for Will and I to care about much since, because a few members of our class make it very difficult to speak in this class particularly, since they dominate the conversation, and are extremely stubborn and obfuscate excessively. But I'll be trying harder there definitely.

Dr. McArthur said that I had been making some good points in Theology, and when I spoke, I was very clear and had good logical thoughts that showed I was investigating the text. He said he liked it so much that he thought I should talk more, and be more of a leader of the conversation.

So I got stellar rags from Mr. Decaen and Mr. Collins, fairly good ones from Mr. Clark and Dr. McArthur, but not so great from Ms. Zedlick and Mr. Wodzinski.
