Preliminary essay

In a brief essay (I'm thinking 1 single-spaced page, but you're welcome to write more if you've got more to say), answer the following questions...

Based on the readings and your own experiences, what do you see as the #1 reward or benefit of teaching? What do you see as the primary challenges of teaching? What skills, knowledge, and/or experience do you hope to get out of COMM 702?

In response to the last question, feel free to talk about your past teaching experiences, current teaching responsibilities, and/or future teaching plans (if applicable).

This preliminary writing assignment will not be graded. It's meant to get you thinking about the issues we will be discussing in the course, and will help me tailor class activities toward your pedagogical goals. You can email it to me in advance, or bring it on the first day of class.
