Back Teaching Again

Back to the old teaching game today. First 3 classes of the semester. Marketing, ET (whatever that is) and Applied Physics. The marketing students were good, as expected. The ET (some sort of electronics) students were very reluctant to speak, but the Applied Physics surprised me a bit! A nice bunch of happy students. Little do they know what’s in store for them when they start hitting the heavy stuff next year! They reminded me a bit of our class. A quite normal bunch of people, although our class had probably a 40-60 ratio of girls to guys, whereas theirs is 20-80. However, in a similar way to our class, a lot of them were doing physics cos they didn’t get their first choice! I did console them in the fact that a degree in Applied Physics can open up a lot of opportunities. All you have to do is look at the diversity of jobs that people from our class are in now!

The rest of my students are all studying techie type stuff, like Computerisation, Telecommunications, Computers and Electronics. I can see more ET-types! But you never know.
