Hello Everyone,
I remember "way back", when I was taking my first undergraduate classes and how I thought how easy professors had it. All they had to do is sit back, "act" like they were grading papers, and just enjoying the good life.
Needless to say, I have learned how utterly wrong my thinking was. I view each class as a new practice, a new chapter in life. The more I go over the material, the more effort I put into that days class plan, the better my presentation will be. I am not teaching to sit back and enjoy easy street, it is my duty as an educator to ensure the students will take away the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in life.
