Again, I was very pleased with the quality of speeches last night. I saw improvement in everyone from the first night, and I thoroughly enjoy hearing about everyone’s interests and personal causes (whether everyone agrees with them or not). I think such diversity in the classroom environment keeps things interesting, and there were definitely some lively Q&A sessions after many of our speeches. I’m looking forward to the personal aspects you will each bring to this week’s Faith Integration papers and speeches.
Next week, I’m looking for some specific feedback related to the team teaching assignments. I’ve been collecting some of your feedback so far to pass along to the school along with my personal feedback, and you will have the chance to share it again in your end-of-course surveys. Please think about the last two weeks of class over the coming week so you will be able to answer the questions. I have a feeling I already know the answers, but I don’t want to second guess anyone.
Below is the PowerPoint that I use for the reading assignments for Workshop 3. Again, because last night was a team teaching event, you didn’t see these, but these are what I feel are the core concepts that are essential to get out of the reading. Hopefully, we will have time in the next two weeks to follow up where necessary.
