Last semester was my first semester teaching at Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) in eastern Pennsylvania. In this episode, I give some background about LCCC and my initial experiences there. Future episodes will detail specifics about the two courses I taught last semester.

A Long Time Away
April 27th, 2010 — Uncategorized
Hello, everyone!
It’s been over nine months since my last podcast episode, and for that I apologize. In October I moved back to Pennsylvania and had quite a time finding a job. For a few months I worked in a local daycare, but this semester I’ve been teaching ENG 100 (Fundamentals of Writing) and ENG 105 (College English I) at two different campuses of Lehigh Carbon Community College, in eastern Pennsylvania. This summer I’ll be teaching at least two online sections of ENG 105, possibly three, and if I’m lucky a traditional American Lit. class too.
It’s been a really interesting teaching experience, and I’ve enjoyed myself a lot, but I’ve been rather busy acclimating myself to the new position and learning to navigate my first professional teaching experience. I have a lot to say, and I’d like to start podcasting again, which I plan on doing shortly.
Stay tuned!
