Class is finished!!

I am finally finished teaching my summer course at Missouri State. It was truly a neat experience, though I'm not sure I'd do it again.

In case you didn't know, I taught Intro to Journalism this summer, and it was much tougher than I thought it would be. Four days a week...for more than an hour...

Some students were really into journalism, and I think that's refreshing...Others told me they took this class because it was a requirement to take "cooler classes". Sweet.

Most of my students wanted to be print journalists so I didn't have much of an opportunity teaching what I know best. However, I think they'll find that they'll have to deal with video at some point in their careers.

Anyway, I had a few great writers and a lot of potential great writers. It's inspiring to say the least.

MissouriStateYOU

I started a blog called missouristateyou for a journalism class I'm teaching this summer! Feel free to go on there to influence the minds of our future journalists. Next week they'll start posting some of their stories, so I'm very excited about it. If you check now, you'll see Dave Catanese's HOT LIST when it comes to blogs. To Be Continued...
