Thursday, February 7th, 2002 09:38 amErgnk, registration today, first class tomorrow, and I still haven't got my course texts printed out and sent to the bookstore to be photocopied and bound. The problem is that I don't want to use our office printer, as it's an inkjet, and printing out 90 pages would just about finish off the cartridge, but when I went into the computer centre, I couldn't log on in the student PC labs, and the UNIX lab was locked. There's a "teachers' resources room", but they don't have anything that can read PostScript. In fact, last time I looked, they didn't even have anything that could read PDF.
Nice to see some of my old students have already asked to be re-registered in my section. We've got this confusing (but quite good) system whereby students register for the course as a whole through the normal channels (it's one of these English + academic skills courses that everyone has to do), then they come to us to choose their section. Different sections have diffferent themes - mine, as I think I wrote earlier, is "Happiness", but we have themes as diverse as "Evil", "Bodies" and "Existentialism and the Theatre of the Absurd". Actually, one reaon why I'd like to get as many of my old students as possible is that I'm not sure about the kind of student who might sign up for a course on happiness without reading the small print. I was chatting to the guy doing the "Evil" course a while back - he said I ran the risk of getting a load of "girlies". "Yeah," I replied, "I get the sweet girlies, you get the wannabe goths." Well, we'll see - students are starting to come in ....
