I love this post, David! So glad you "ran out of ideas" and did this diary. I particularly resonated with and am chewing on:

-- Notes to Future Me ("Take this seriously, Future Dave!")

-- "I don’t have to force compliance with an unnecessary policy."

-- "In some classes – especially more introductory classes – I find the Exemplary mark to be distracting." Hoo boy this one rings true and I'm chewing on it.

-- "my rollercoaster of emotions about grading" -- Even DAVID CLARK who wrote the literal book on grading has rollercoaster emotions about grading. It helps my own struggles feel validated.

I really enjoyed this, David. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate getting a peek behind the curtain, as it were, and seeing what you're thinking about. Delightful to see how thoughtful you are about this stuff!
