On the Verge of the New

As I put the final editorial touches on my fall syllabi and course calendars, I find myself getting very excited about the upcoming semester even though it's still two weeks out. After three years of teaching, I finally have these three courses I regularly teach just about where I want them. Exploring teaching styles and finding a comfortable pedagogy takes time. But I have arrived. Thanks to the help and input of all my exceptional colleagues and former students.

I'm hoping to get all my course materials linked to my newly published website, so my students have full access to the site this fall. I'd like to start moving away from Blackboard, having students access my website directly instead. All in good time. All in good time.

Tonight, I hope to finish up these syllabi and course calendars and get started on my lesson plans. I'm supposed to be sharing my assignments and lesson plans with a new adjunct tomorrow over lunch and need to get as much revising and editing done tonight as possible.

Writing was a pleasant respite, however brief. But...back to work.
