		<description><![CDATA[In my classes, I always try to keep track of those students that come to the recitations well-prepared, and that participate actively in class. While participation has never been part of the grade, I have traditionally used that information whenever I come across a border-line grade: Is this an A or a B? In addition, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For anyone thinking that I had actually taken a two-month vacation, I wish you were right. It&#8217;s been a hectic return from vacation, with trips, exams and setting up a new course. We are starting our classes next week, and I am both thrilled and a bit overwhelmed with this exciting new course. This year [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[August is finally here, and it was about time I had a vacation! Last year I was in Boston and that pretty much prevented me from taking a proper long vacation. Although I will not disconnect entirely, this year I&#8217;m planning to take the month easy and get some rest, preparing for a very intense [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, with a 7-month delay. In January 2009 I published a post summarizing my research activity in 2008. It ended with a question to myself: Would I be able to pull out another year as intense as 2008? Well, let’s see… The growth of the &#60;e-Adventure&#62; platform continued at an even higher pace. The incorporation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear blog, It has (again) been months between posts, and in these months I have been thinking about blogging, tweeting, facebooking and other forms of online presence. I am registered in most web-based social forms of communication, but I am not really committed to any of them, all for different reasons. For instance, I started [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After completing a 4-month process in mid-october and nearly another month of paperwork, my promotion to Associate Professor is now complete. More specifically, I am now a &#8220;Profesor Contratado Doctor&#8221; and it is a tenured, non-civil servant position, with teaching and research duties. Obviously, this promotion means a lot for me. After many years in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, last week we started the classes at the School of Computer Science. I must confess that, even though I try to keep my students engaged by querying them during the class, I am not really using game-based content or game-like activities. I have been reflecting about this. Is it a hypocrisy to preach that [...]]]></description>

I got the highest possible grade and some very nice words from the members of the committee.

It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you&#8217;re not actually a scientific work. Every scientific work on this planet is the result of a natural equilibrium between creativity, a relaxed [...]]]></description>
