DrPaul gets a part-time job

I had been real nervous getting ready for it these past weeks. but today I started teaching an Astronomy class at a local college. It was a blast! A lot more fun that I was expecting. At least for me. I hope the students also had fun and maybe even learned something.

I guess I'll have to wait and see how many drops I get at the next meeting.
Oh yeah, Professor is in the house. :D
Good luck on the new class.
Following Indie logic, if you teach Astronomy part time, are you an adventurous space pirate during the summer break?

Please say yes.

Congrats on the teaching. As much as I disliked college, I aways envied and respected the profs. That's one thing I'd like to do sometimes, although I'm not exactly sure I can teach anything from my field :P

Tell us how it goes with the next sittings!

That sounds great. I once attended an astronomy class when I was at university. Even though I had no knowledge in physics, I think I learned a lot about the big picture.

Good luck!
Played it once, stuck for life.
Good for you, Doc. At first I thought your new part time job was downloading UAKM and PD onto flash drives. But astronomy, now that's cool. I've looked to the stars all my life with wonder and awe. Hope your students appreciate your talents.

Congratulations Doc!

That's cool, Doc. Sounds like a lot of fun. I'm sure it will be a great learning experience for both the students as well as yourself.

Do you get to teach at night and look at the stars in the sky too? That would be cool

Astronomy! You know I used to be obsessed when I was much younger. I still gaze out through the telescope once in a while. Fascinating stuff, and even more fascinating you are teaching it... I know who to come to when I have any questions!

I love Astronomy... Glad to hear you are enjoying it Doc... I hope it all works out for you... Don't take no crap off those college punks {present company of any college punks excluded of course :wink: }...
