I finally had my first morning class yesterday. The professor has been off island dealing with the death of a parent.

This class will require some changes on my part. Usually we can pipe up when we want to contribute to a point or ask a question. Professor Miller is partially deaf. If you want to contribute to the class you need to get her attention then wait for her to come and stand in front of you. She reads your lips to augment her limited hearing. C'est le vie.

This term is proving to be a little difficult to schedule. Usually we have to do observations or some other community activity. This term Professor Hendricks is conducting a study on change for students moving from middle to high school. We have to devote 10 hours to interviewing kids, parents, and teachers. This is not popular with most of the class because it is more difficult to schedule than observations. I have no opinion.

Our third class, the practicum, has not yet started. This is serious because we are now three weeks into an eight week term. We are rapidly running out of time and we have no professor or schedule. I'm glad I'm not paying for these classes.
