I also encourage students to organize into small study groups to prepare for examinations. RTV4800 is the capstone for the operations sequence and requires that students draw upon all they have studied in previous telecommunication courses. They work as competing teams on a problem presented by management of a radio-TV facility who then juries the written proposals and oral presentations the teams submit as solutions. I also use student evaluations and test scores as specific determinants in seeing how well I am doing in meeting my course goals. And finally, I keep my mind open to new opportunities for improving my teaching.
Teaching is surely one of life's most rewarding professions.
Sometimes, I marvel that I'm paid to do something I enjoy so much.
