Late afternoon conference, Part II

21 April 2014: Remember the student from this post? He came back again on Monday to talk about another set of papers. He's done this all semester long. They still aren't where he or I want them to be, but darn it if he doesn't keep pushing and working. In a week where I've spent way too much time grading and dealing with students who are angry or flummoxed or just unhappy about their grades--students to whom I want to say, "And how come you didn't worry this much BEFORE you handed it in?"--it does my heart good to work with students like this guy.
