Recent thoughts

I came to this program for many reasons, just like all of you. A few years ago, I was teaching 3 or 4 classes each term, the maximum for adjuncts. Suddenly, the work stopped coming as "my" classes were moved to the online college. "How can anyone learn Human Relations online?" I asked. I was a little indignant.
