INCEPT

My PhD crusade continues ...

Yesterday I participated in a panel in which new Georgia State students and their parents asked questions about academic expectations to professors (I was the only Teaching Assistant). It was a good learning experience, since they did not pay me for it. As expected I felt somewhat nervous to be one the "experts" (Just as a reminder this is my first academic teaching gig :D ). I also learned a lot about the students I am going to have this Fall (they are nervous too). I hope to remember this when I walk into my classroom. We are all doing something new and it takes time to get used to it. They will probably mask fear it by appearing apathetic and I by being over confident :D (its a joke)
