Teaching

The new school quarter begins on Monday. My teaching schedule changed four times between when it was put together during last quarter and last Friday when it changed again. On balance, it is a good one for me.

I will be teaching four classes which is one more than what the normal adjunct instructors teach. We had another instructor in the Business faculty decide to not teach this quarter at the last moment. The school didn’t have time to find a replacement so I got to pick up an extra class.

On Friday, I was having a late lunch at The Counter, the home of the custom built burger, when the school called. Another instructor had some health issues.

Would I consider a course change in my Friday course to accommodate the ill instructor?

I’ve always been a team player so I agreed to teach a different course on Friday night.

The school threw in a sort of bonus. I was asked if I wanted to be a paid tutor with a regular schedule. I agreed because there was no added burden for me. I arrive early for class and somedays I have to sit around and wait until the class begins. Now, I can sit and get paid to sit, Hopefully, I will get a chance to help some students with their classes.

This quarter, I will teach Accounting II, Project Management Tools & Techniques, Project Management Communication and Documentation, and Macroeconomics.

Be well and stay happy.
