Week 10: What I've Learned

Discuss something you have learned in the class so far that you have used in your professional, personal, or collegiate career.

Bad News...

Got some bad news this week.  I won't be able to teach Tech Writing for awhile.  The course was given to a full-time professor.  I'm disappointed, but that's the way things go.

Hopefully, I'll get to teach it again soon.

It's been fun!  Finishing this semester is hard, but I gotta do what I gotta do.
