Teachers Have to Be An Expert in Something Else

Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

One of our new graduates, who used to teach in the Integrated School handling computer classes, is now teaching in college and in the IT center at the same time, programming the student enrollment.

Well, modifying the existing student enrollment program that is, that has been handled by at least four other people before her.

She is handling only one class, introductory computer programming lab, where it is ascertained that she will not have any non-freshmen as her students who may have seen her also as a student.

At the same time, part of her forty hour per week residency while in school is that she must sit in on several advanced programming classes handled by other teachers, so as not to be in the IT center all day.

She approached me for my schedule, and I was able to offer her two possible sit-ins: Introduction to Robotics (which had its share of programming) and Computer Circuit Fundamentals.

The second is assembly language, which she already took up in her Computer Architecture class, so it was removed from her schedule.

Only Robotics was retained, because during the time she was supposed to take that as an elective as a student, she took web design instead.

She told me that in the other classes she is attending, she has to facilitate all by herself one activity or give one lecture.

I have no idea yet what kind of activity she can give my class, but it will most likely be sometime towards the end of the term.

She can probably give some suggestions as to one of the next projects, but for now, she is just one of the judges I use for the first demonstration.

Anyway, just wanted to share the existence of a relatively unusual half-time teacher, half-time programmer we have here in school.

Session 1683 may be enjoying the best of both career worlds. Class dismissed.
