Surviving my teaching semester

I just graded my students' final reports and tomorrow I will be submitting their final grades. Still strange to have authority over a college class. But the important thing is I made it all the way through a semester of my own class! I almost can't believe it. There were days when I thought I should just have someone else take over my class. Nothing was ever going badly but I'd have moments where I realized I had no authority to teach advertising/public relations research! If only I could have taught a media effects research class, I would have been so comfortable.

Ah well, I made it through. My students were good and all received good grades in the end.

I still don't know if I'm teaching this again in Fall but I assume so. And hope so! I know I wouldn't want to do this level of weekly preparation all over again for a different class!
