Dear Fellow Explorers,
I will be sending comments to each of you but I wanted to share some general comments.
I am very refreshed by the fact that
1. the comments about transcribing are honest/candid/open.
2. They are short.
3. They are insightful and mostly descriptive rather than judgmental.
The issue of judgments is complex. When we say "I talked too much." we are making a judgment. If we say "I said 300 words and the students said 30 words" we are being descriptive.
The more we move to description the more we are likely to notice about what we are doing in more specific ways.
Cheers.
John

Yes, you are right! Instead of "I talked too much" I would say this: I recorded my class for 5 minutes and I counted the words I said - (140 words), and my student 72 words.
