When I looked at my class list before class, I was somewhat concerned when I saw that we had 21 students in this graduate class. Since I like to emphasize discussion and interaction in my classes, having a class this large seemed rather daunting. In fact, I was feeling nervous about the size of the group as the evening began. After a few minutes, however, I began to feel that this diverse and motivated group of students was going to form into a cohesive, interactive whole. As the evening progressed, I became more convinced of this as we began to discuss and interact more and more. The Logo session was active and fun and by the end of the evening, I was even pleased at the size of the class.
Having Evrim Baran help with the class will be an important part of our success and our ability to continue to interact and work together.
Somewhat ironically, we will have some visitors from the Turkish Student Project next week---so our group of 21 will turn into a group of more than 25. I think, however, that we are ready for that.
