Last Class??

Last night I taught the final section of EDAD 830, Administrative Theory.  It is this face to face class that I have been enjoying all semester.  These students are very creative and they do devote time and energy to learning the material I have outlined for them.  But, now that I have gone through this one time, I see how much more I could have incorporated into the class.  Because most of them are student affairs students, I felt uncertain about how to present administrative theory to them.  Some of it worked well.  Some did not.  I'd make different choices next time.  For example, I would use more papers and order them more sequentially and use fewer books.  1 text and a bunch of seminal papers.  I was educated by these 25-35 year olds, millennials who do have a whole set of skills that I don't normally see.  And they come to the course as educated students.  They know about more than just education.

Presentations came in the form of Youtubes, Extranormal, ShowMes and Prezis.  Very few power points.  Refreshing.
