As I'm currently in the PELD computer lab with my students, I do not have access to the document in which I keep many details about my life. I know that my first class at BCIT was during the fall of 1997. I know that I surpassed the ten-year mark last fall. Yet, I do not know how many times I've taught this COMM 0004 course. The length of the course can vary because of the schedule. For example, this intensive one is 84 hours spread out over twenty-one afternoons.Whatever the total count, I am happy in this current one. The happiness may be due to the fact our midterms are over and we will finish up completely a week from today. Each group of students brings a different dynamic to the classroom. The materials which are taught change over time, but the individuals change in every single class.
In each class, the students' motivation, sense of humour, and academic skills differ. Consequently, these differences affect my own motivation, sense of humour, and teaching performance.
