I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I'm getting a feeling for when I need to start homework in order to have it turned in by the deadline. I'm figuring out what the professors want from me. I'm already thinking ahead to classroom observations, paper topics, etc. And I'm finding a lot of humor.
All of my professors have a Ph.D. Not a durn one of them can spell. In some cases, the irony of their errors is hilarious.
From a grading rubric:
I will deduct 10 pts for spelling/grammer mistakes (Oy!)
From a "welcome to the class" announcement (different professor):
I trust that you will profit from the course. I suspect that much of what we do will not become truely useful until that day you face your own students.
From the classroom course calendar (different class):
Calendar is spelled "calender" in both the links to the calendar site and in the file name.
C'mon, people, really?!?!
Now, that being said, I will point out that these professors seem to be very nice people and we engage in lively debate in our online classroom. I just enjoy poking fun at their errors.

If there is any word that you should get smacked for misspelling, it's grammar. That really annoys me.
Proof of my menopause - I would have sworn the correct spelling for the monthly thing hanging on my wall was calender. Thanks for the lesson.
