Thought for the week:
"The aim of education must be the training of independently
acting and thinking individuals who, however, see in the
service to the community their highest life achievement.
The school should always have as its aim that the young person
leave it as a harmonious personality, not as a specialist.
Otherwise he - with his specialized knowledge - more closely
resembles a well-trained dog than a harmoniously developed
person."
- Albert Einstein
(1879-1955)
Here is a
sample exam (with answers) I give my classes.

Regarding the
Syllabus Presentation from 11 July 2000
Please note that I did not expect to have to "role-play" in my
presentation of the syllabus. In fact, if you take a look at
the full presentation that I had prepared (see link above), you
will find additional slides about how I actually developed the
syllabus for a course that will be taught in the Fall 2000 at
NVCC Alexandria. I do not like "role-playing" or acting.
To me, considering how you might approach different scenarios
is another matter, and not the same as "acting."
