First Day of Class

     Today was my first day of class.  It is currently 10:22 in the morning and I have been done with class for an hour.  It will be so nice only having one class on Mondays!!  The class that I attended this morning was Mathematics Education I: something something something.  It is definitely a class I need for my degree so that is great, but it sounds like it is going to be a lot of work.  Oh well I am here to learn!
      This class was really different than what I am used to.  I walked into this bigish lecture hall and it wasn't even half full for class.  There was a teacher in the room, but he didn't actually do the teaching.  The actual teacher was at the Gold Coffs University.  Lismore and another school watched the lecture on a live stream video.  However, the lecturer will travel weekly to the different schools.  So week 3 he will be in my class in Lismore and the rotation will continue throughout the session.
       Another difference is the fact that we only have lecture once a week; I haven't decided if I am going to like this or not.  Lecture is 50 minutes but then we also have a tutorial time.  Mine is Thursday 4-5:50.  I think this could be the equivalent of a lab.  Most of the classes have a tutorial or workshop that go with the lecture even though they aren't science classes.  And if there is not a separate tutorial time, the class is super long.  I have one class that is 4 hours long!! Ahh.
     Other than the slight differences I think this will be a great semester and a wonderful learning experience.
