Summer’s almost over…
Posted: August 7th, 2008
Wow.. it’s August and the summer session is almost over. It has been a longer summer than I expected with the 10 week methods course and then the 5 week I/O course the second half of the summer. The methods course did work better in the 10 week format (rather than having it condensed down to 5 weeks as well), but it has been an intense past few weeks. Needless to say, that’s kept me from posting here (I still resist using the term “blogging”). I’ve come up with some new ideas for the methods course this Fall (the only course I’ll be teaching this coming Fall and Spring). And, related to that is a possible new direction I might be taking here as well.
I’ll still post my random comments, thoughts, etc. as time permits, but I’m going to add something a little more “work” related as well. With my new position at work, I’ll need to be doing a lot more in terms of staying current on research in a few different areas. So, I’m going to try and post comments, thoughts, etc. of various articles I’m reading related to those areas. Since I’m hoping to integrate discussion of these articles into my methods course, what I write here will also help me in preparing for my classes based on what I’m reading for my research projects. Essentially trying to kill 3 birds at once, so to speak.
I’m still following a handful of other blogs, so I’ll probably be posting comments from time to time in relation to those as well… and trying to find a way to make posting things here a little easier/quicker for me so I can do it more often…
Well, guess that’s it for now since I do have to make sure I get to work in the morning…
