I haven't quite finished my second set of lecture slides yet (which is actually for my first two lectures) so in some ways I am not allowed the reward of dropping in on this party. On the other hand, I did hold my first ever tutorial with my group of first year tutees, so I have done teaching that I should get some bonus for. The tutorial went quite well I thought, and while I think I probably talked more than my five tutees put together during our hour-long tutorial, they did do some talking. I was a bit worried about this, because I had seen them briefly on a few occasions throughout the week, and found them very quiet. However, they did all contribute opinions and answers to questions during today's tutorial, so perhaps their quietness earlier was due to things like just starting university, not knowing each other and not knowing me, which makes sense to me. Hopefully they will get even livlier as the term progresses, so that they do as much, or maybe even more, talking than me each during future tutorials.
