OK, pals. Wish me luck...

OK "F", your logged on now so lets hear your teaching story

 

I am still alive... That's a good sign!

Thank you all for your kind wishes! I am sure they worked.

Well, I came to meet my groups throughout the week and I started the lessons with some of them. I think they felt comfortable with someone of almost their age who they can treat a little bit more normally. I told them they could call me Friedrich a not necessarily teacher, sir, professor, or whatever. I told them what I intend to do things; debates, historical and philosophical reading, my weird 'what-if' exams and the fact that I'll use a lot of graphic material. And of course, homeworks will involve to watch some historical films and then we'll discuss them. But first of all, I had to teach them what is History and what is it for. Then the currents of historical interpretation and the scientific method for historical investigation. I really enjoyed it. It's exhausting but nice.

 

All that is fine but--How good is the pay?

 

Nearly $25 American dollars per class, minus 15% of taxes...

 

Well you’ve survived the first encounter! Re your title, you could take a leaf from Robin Williams and have them call you “Fuhrer mien Fuhrer”
Unless you were teaching art, it probably wouldn’t be right to let them call you Freddy baby!

However, when it come to discipline, remember the old saying, ”Spare the rod and spoil the child!”

No.9

 

Hahahahha....

Congrats and good luck on you new job Fried! Just noticed this thread!

I am sure you will enjoy doing this, filling gullible minds with....history....Keep 'em under your thumb, though, don't let them get the better of you,....little b@$t@rd$...

And most of all...ENJOY it!

 

Your method of teaching sounds attractive Friedrich. Wish I could be in that class for a day.

 

Thank you very much, Stevin and Volkbert!

I wish I could have you as students!

 

...so now that you're officially a professor I guess that I could cite you in any further papers???

I guess you can, Ducetta. But you should know that I am an unofitial professor... since I do not have an university tittle, forget about a teacher degree...
