I met with them for the first time yesterday afternoon. If first impressions are valid, they will be a fun and hardworking group. The thing that amazes me is that my records seem to indicate this is the twenty-seventh course I've taught at BCIT.
Of course the numbers add up more quickly than one might imagine. This occurs because many courses do not run for an entire term but rather are specialized, intensive courses. For example, this course meets only 21 times over 5 weeks. Each class is four hours long, so we will be able to accomplish a great deal of work.
