I have the last meeting of one of my summer school classes tomorrow - six weeks just whizzed by. The building that contains the photography lab has been under construction for sometime and hopefully all work will be complete before we head back to school for the fall term. Most of the summer I had to lecture over a jack hammer destroying the floor above my head. One day we didn't have power. Often the main entrance to the building was blocked by construction material. There is dust everywhere. The mounting room has no door - really. But as a class we pressed forward, learned, and in the end had a wonderful summer. I have truly enjoyed this class of amazing and interesting individuals.
Last night, a class I team teach with Prof D. in geology started. The class is mostly online except for a four day camping trip to Mammoth Lakes. So as one class finishes another begins but the difference is I won't be stuck in a building, much less one under demolition. I will be teaching out in the field and helping students learn in an active environment. My favorite way to teach and I believe their favorite way to learn.
It was an awesome class Wendy, construction and all! Thank you so much!
