First Days At OU / MDIA

blog · 2012-08-27

With the first day of classes under my belt here at Ohio University, I’m left to reflect upon those who have crossed my path throughout the day. I’m lucky to be working in a school with amazingly supportive faculty, with a tremendous interim Director, and a Dean who’s truly doing great things to grow an already flourishing college. I may sound like I’m gushing, but it’s really great to work with like-minded educators.

I’ve received several questions as to my course load and book selection so this seemed the easiest way to answer those. I’m teaching MDIA 3303 (two sections), MDIA 4903, and working with a group of students on a project to record several aural presentations of astronomers & physicists for radio broadcast. I’m really please with the group of students I’ve met thus far and the classes I’m teaching, so hopefully I’ll be able to share some class projects with you later in the semester. For now, here’s some paperwork and light reading suggestions…
