My first semester of teaching in Kurdistan is almost at an end. It had some significant differences than my teaching in Ghana. The biggest one was that I taught three Civ 101 classes and only one more advanced history class. I am hoping to be able to move permanently to Civ 102 from now on since I am a modern not an ancient historian. But, even so Civ 102 involves teaching first year students and that is a considerably different and more difficult task than teaching third and fourth year yet alone post-graduate students.
Congratulations! How many professors teach in your new history department? I am curious as to how many matriculated students are in your history department?
ReplyDeleteThe Social Sciences Department has ten people. I think seven of us have PhDs in history.
