not off to a great start, it seems

turned in my syllabus to department head for review and was told it's fine, but that a few things need tweaking. yet, one of his few comments was about the pacing and scaffolding of lessons. to my mind, this means the whole syllabus needs to change. apparently, kids don't write till they're a month in. granted, i don't remember my freshman writing class, but I would almost swear that we had a paper due at the second week.

i'm not quite sure what to do.
