Madonna says so, and whatever your opinion about her as a thinker, she pulls down a lot more money than I do. Thus, in the Fall/Winter issue of lessons, we incorporated faculty development information into our writing. In the Spring/Summer issue, we continue with that change and because the issue is about writing, we try some new things. Some of our articles are creative writing pieces, some of the pedagogical sidebars are humorous (to me, anyway), and the Director's Corner is a review of the many ways writing serves us as a teaching/learning tool. The piece on plagiarism was particularly difficult to not just plagiarize from the many fine articles that ultimately served as reference materials. After all, so many had written so well before me. With change, particularly the changes that come with spring, comes the chance for new beginnings. When you read this, the tulips will be blooming, baby birds will be born, and we will be ready for the renewal that comes with summer term. Inspired by this issue, I hope you are able to write about your own progress and changes, and put more writing into the courses you teach. You are invited to write to me about the changes you see in lessons, and how we might serve your teaching. |
