Survived my first term teaching :)

Hello as many of you know I got the job lecturing at college for the module Database Design.

Just wanted to tell you I've just finished teaching for the term. I re-start January 2nd.

There is a lot involved with teaching, its been so much work. Glad i get a break from it tbh!!

Well Done Zak .

I think the benefit of being a teacher/lecturer you get holidays like the students mainly. Although you have your other job .

You must be nearly as old as me, if you're a lecture.

You finish early! How's it going?

Yeh that is a bonus but I'll spend most of that time learning what I need to teach for next term . Yeh I start my new job on the 7th, that is if my eCRB is back by then

I am 21

Yeh the students finish on the 17th. I go back on the 2nd though so I'm there first lecture back so to speak

Yeh it's good but it's a lot more work than I thought esp because it's only one module I'm teaching.

Learning the material and really knowing the subject isn't too difficult.. marking is quite hard as I don't want to be too generous or too strict. Lots of work to do outside of the class room

How did you get qualified to be a college lecturer at the age of 21?

You need not be a qualified teacher (i.e. have a teaching qualification) in order to teach. You can teach unqualified which is about a £1 an hour less

All you need is a degree, or higher education certificate/diploma in the subject area

so what exactly is database design. what does it feel like teaching those who are just a few years younger than u are?
