I just received my first email communication with the title "Dear Professor Garrett Stone..." This semester marks the first of many to come where I will be the "instructor of record;" A.k.a. the course is all mine. In the past I have guest lectured or covered for my professor but this time around I will have the class all to myself.
I'll be teaching 16 students 3 times a week for about 50 minutes a session and the course is titled "Tourism Management." We'll cover sustainable tourism, crisis management, social media management, customer service and more. While I am a little nervous I am excited to make the course my own, practice and refine my teaching skills, and probably learn a heck of a lot more than any of my students. While I will be borrowing a syllabus and content from my adviser I am really looking forward to making the course my own, growing into my own teaching style, and stepping out of my comfort zone. Here's to a career of teaching!
