First Seminar=Successful

My students love me! Well, at least that is what they say when they are kissing my butt.

Tonight was my first seminar. I worked this weekend making powerpoint slides and an outline. Did I follow them...not really but I was prepared! We had a nonstop seminar for the full hour. There were over 15 students in attendance at one time so that's not bad for a KU online course that doesn't have graded seminars.

Most of my students laughed at my attempts at humor, they appreciated my tips, and asked normal questions I was prepared for. Now, if you ask my hubby, it was a comedy and should be published for that purpose only. I was called Professor Froyd many times (I told them to call me Erin). I was also called Mr. Froyd for quite a while. I had to private message that student and tell her I was a female. They all seem genuinely interested in education but like all college students...I had to remind them to get their work in before the deadline tomorrow.

I was very soft on their first assignment since most just didn't know how to use the software and hardware. I warned them, I won't be so nice or easy on future assignments. I think they are hearing me now...but wait till midterms when they are failing and start whining about it.

I had a good time and really enjoyed teaching them. I hope the remaining 9 weeks keep that energy and enthusiasm up (theirs and mine).
