OMG! It’s better than I ever could have imagined! I’m taking 3 courses and 2 seminars, except they’re all really seminars – a bunch of people sitting around a table talking about a common subject. Four out of five are Intro courses – Intro to Doc Studies, Intro to Research in Ed, Orientation to the Math Ed PhD program, and a Research seminar (we’re preparing for a big meeting of the PME). The final course is Larry’s Principles and Methods for Integrated Approaches to Teaching and Learning Mathematics and Science. We’re going to be writing Lesson Resources which is like very elaborate lesson plans. I’ll be writing papers and/or making presentations in all of my classes. The main emphasis of this semester is to focus on a research topic. In addition I’m expecting to develop a support network and re-establish my writing skills (esp. citations). I’ve got an entire 4 to 6 months to focus on only that. What an incredible opportunity! I am so glad I decide to partake in this little bit of insanity.
