<p class="MsoNormal">Just sitting down to have a serious look at the year and improve my course.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A sort out and rewrite of things that did not go as well as I thought.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Keep the good stuff and rewrite the rest.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My major concern is the nature of the SAT with a large class of students.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This will be the main food for thought before we start next year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Basically : The quality of the problem and the client determines the overall performance on the SAT.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Students who are able to generate good problems based on approachable clients have an extreme advantage over students who lack the confidence or initial knowledge to find a client.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The less able student will often generate an unworkable problem or simplify make up a client ( as I found out too late to do much about it)
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From this starting point the student is prevented from scoring highly on most of the 8 criteria.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So on reflection I will be looking at <o:p></o:p></p>
