If you haven't tutored...
There were some students that weren't able to tutor yet. You should set up a make-up appointment so that you don't fall too far behind. Procrastination won't work very well because you will fall behind in class discussions, fall behind in experience, set a tone for the semester, and ultimately discourage my ability to write you letters of recommendation in the future. Perhaps most practically, you won't be able to tutor on time. You will have to complete an alternative assignment while other students tutor. Having said this, it's only the first week and there's still plenty of time to develop a rhythm and find a four-week schedule that works for you.
To the entire class on the subject...
If more than one student hasn't completed his or her tutoring next week, I will not let our class out a little early anymore. There is no sense giving away time if that time isn't used properly.
Once you finish...
Please take the survey and complete the post-observation exercise.
Responding to students...
All your questions and concerns were absolutely right. Let's try and create a list of protocols for responding to student work so you can minimize your anxiety and be the best reader possible.
