The drier the course the more fun we need to create.  If I find the subject boring then it is my responsibility as an instructor to make it as fun as possible.  Sometimes learning is NOT fun, but try and make it as painless as possible

I just completed the course on English as a second language.  It made me stop and consider what these students are dealing with.  I am not sure that I could be successful if I had to take a course in a language that was not my first.  Kudo's to students.  Shirley Wall

I agree 3-4 hour classes are rigorous for the student and the teacher.  I am in a situation where I have 4 hours of teaching in my 1 hour break we have a staff meeting and then have 4 more hours of teaching.  This happen 3 days a week.  The 4th day I only have 4 hours of class and then finally I have 4 hours of catch up time.  What happens is that I come in at least 90 minutes early just to be prepared.  I am exausted.  Can't wait for this semester to be over.
