Mom of Three Angels

Although I already work in my chosen profession,  I decided to complete my BSc in Computer Science.  To get my feet wet, I decided to do a Humanities course and spread it over the Fall-Winter semesters.  That way, I would only have classes one evening per week, you know, I need to gently wean myself away from the kids.

Being on campus again is an experience.  Everything has changed in the last several years.  The students are monitoring their facebook pages and various emails.  Many do not bother taking notes.  Those were in for a rude surprise when at the end of the class they were told that there would be no handouts of the lecture notes available on the web.  The shocked silence was almost funny.  I say almost because I realised that my note-taking skills are all too limited.  Even more shocking was the lecturer’s announcement that she does not use email.  OK, even I was floored by that one.  However, I do (vaguely) remember the days before lecturers were available by email so I can grasp the concept.

Wish me luck.
