EDHD 5003 is where you ought to be

EDHD 5003 Developmental and Individual Differences in Educational Contexts is an awesome class.
The class just ended last week, I am mildly heartbroken. Professor Richard Rodgerson is hands down one of the best professors I have had the pleasure of learning from. He's a wonderful teacher and story teller. I have learned so much about children and their development. I have learned even more about how humans as a whole work.

Richard is hilarious. The stories he told of his daughter Emma made me giggle forevers.
He wants us to be happy. once he had us force laugh for a minute to improve our mood. Sometimes he would tell us to close our eyes and imagine our happy place.
He plans activities that we can relate to such as: discuss your own experience with puberty.

The readings for his class are so awesome. you can totally borrow my texts.

Most importantly I believe that Professor Rodgerson's class has helped me be more confident about my decision to become an elementary teacher. His tips for managing the classroom is one of the most valuable things I have gained during my college career.

please please do yourself a huge favor and take this class. You will not regret it.

ATTENTION WORLD:


It's time to register for spring semester at the U of M!

Featuring....
ENGL3090: MARXISMS with APRIL KNUTSON <3
Spring 2009; MWF @ 10:10 to 11AM.

This course is by far one of the most amazing and beneficial classes that the University offers (that the University tries endlessly not to offer). The course materials provide a super adorable fundamental background in marxism, focuses on women's and immigrant justice, and awesome international issues as well. It's materials are both historical and tackling current issues. The workload is fulfilling and enjoyable. Most importantly, APRIL KNUTSON teaches this course. YOU MUST TAKE THIS CLASS.

Click HERE for the reading list from last year. Which, by the way, is mostly online! The book list is incredibly affordable!

If you have any questions at all about my experience in this class or if you want me to rant endlessly about how amazing April is - please email me!
