Long Weekend

Exams are over and graded and the new semester will soon begin. After teaching 27 years, I still try to figure out what needs to be changed, what needs to be continued, and what can I do to make the material more useful to the students. I guess it would be so easy to sit back and just continue with things done the same way as forever. But I guess I enjoy change (whether or not I actually want to admit it) for the sake of freshness in the classroom. Yes, some things end up being the same over and over again, but I am always open to new things. Maybe that is why I ended up with a video production class years ago with no training, and then 10 years ago became a publications adviser. Of course, I have learned and studied as hard or harder than the students but I thoroughly have enjoyed the journey. I hope that it continues.
