Schedule Change

by Dr Davis on August 19, 2009

My teaching schedule was changed today. Now I only have 3.5 preps instead of 4.5 preps.

Where’s the half prep coming from? Well, I’m teaching two freshman composition courses at the same college, but one of them is for health science majors, and is very intensely on that, and the other is a generic freshman comp. So they are similar but not the same.

I am grateful for the workload reduction.

FYI: College is Different

by Dr Davis on August 19, 2009

College is a very different proposition as an instructor versus as a parent.

It’s been too long since I was a student to really remember perfectly, but I mostly remember walking around a bit nervous and a bit confused but willing to ask anyone anything.

That does not work out quite so well as a mom instead of as a student.
