I have been teaching ESOL for 25 years, 15 of those at LSC-North Harris. I enjoy teaching EDUC because it is a departure from my ESOL classes, and I get to work with both native and non-native speakers. I always learn a lot from the students, and I enjoy acting as a mentor to them. I'm not really nervous about anything because I've taught it before. Thanks!

I have been working for LSC for approximately 24 years in the wonderful Financial Aid field. I see EDUC 1300 as the most important class a student needs to take.

As for me, I am planning to be the BEST teacher they remember with affection but the one that was determined for them to learn. I am happy to see all of you with the same enthusiasm and that, my collogues, is transmitted to the students.

The one thing I look forward to every year is learning from the students. They teach me just as much as I teach them. They keep me young at heart.

The one thing I am nervous about is getting students to understand Ai is a tool and not a substitute for learning material. Students will not have Ai for entrance exams.

But overall, I am ready for the new year and what it has to offer for the students and myself.

Brandy Edison-Echols: I have been teaching Educ 1300 for 12 years now, and have enjoyed every bit of it. I enjoy not only teaching students the concept of college success, but also showing them how what they learn can be applied to their everyday life. Every semester I look forward to teaching them how important critical thinking is and how it should be used in learning and making decisions. Now the one thing I get nervous about is that some students can’t overcome their adversity to finish the course. This course provides many tools that can be used not only here at Lone star, but at any college and any employment, we’re just tasked with showing them how to use them.

I am looking forward to continuing to integrate AI in my classes, as a form to reach students in a new way, but definitely need to learn much more about it to be proficient.

As an instructor of EDUC 1300, I look forward to interacting with the numerous, unique personalities of my students. Invariably, we wind up teaching each other a great many things.

I don't have too many concerns about teaching the course. Technology glitches and misunderstandings are always an issue, but that's nothing new.

# data[].attributes.body
How many years of experience do you have in teaching or your career field?

-I taught EDUC for the first time last fall. I absolutely loved it and continued to teach it in the spring and summer.

One thing that you look forward to in teaching EDUC 1300.

-I look forward to teaching critical thinking/thinking in college. We talk a lot about transitioning out of a high school mindset and learning to ask/research deeper questions. I usually end the unit with a conspiracy theory project where they must look for valid sources to either side with or against the conspiracy theory they are researching. It teaches them to research a topic deeply instead of just accepting information that is given to them.

One thing that you are nervous/unsure about in teaching EDUC 1300.

-Financial Literacy always makes me nervous. The assignments are great, however I want to build on the budgeting portion of the topic. I plan to create a project of things the students can use immediately while they're in college.

Hello! My name is Eve Golden. I have been teaching EDUC 1300 for six years, but in the academic field 20+ years. I am looking forward to the student interactions and the opportunity to share knowledge with them to aide in their success as a new college student (even though some may be returning). I love to remind students that "procrastination is a choice" not a bad habit. In life we choose to prioritize everything we do. If their goal is to acquire a degree, it must take a priority over other things that they do. In the Time Management assignment, I also ask them to evaluate their priorities. I have a list that includes: academics, sports, friends, social media, video gaming, etc. At midterm, they reassess their list. Then, they do it again one final time @ the end of the semester.

As Kamala Harris says: We can move on and never say 'procrastination is a bad habit' ever again.

My name is Yvette Alexander, and I have 28 years of experience in teaching.

One thing that I look forward to in teaching EDUC 1300 is the opportunity to help students build essential academic and life skills that will benefit them throughout their educational journey.

One thing that I am nervous or unsure about in teaching EDUC 1300 is effectively engaging students who may have diverse learning styles and varying levels of motivation. I want to ensure that each student finds the course valuable and impactful.

I am Edward Vargas. I have taught EDUC. 1300 for about eight years. I have taught this course face-to-face. This is the first semester I will be teaching on-line (aside from the COVID days). I am excited to be part of the on-line college-- but, a bit nervous about returning to on-classes after several years. It is certain to be a learning experience. I am grateful for our leadership team.

Hello Natalie Foreman-Wynn here. I've been teaching EDUC for 10 years. Critical Thinking is my favorite lesson because it brings in to focus for students a glimpse of the higher level thinking required and its much needed in current times. It is also the most difficult because these are interesting times in which critical thinking is lacking and therefore students can find it difficult.

My name is Keyuana Bass and I have been teaching EDUC 1300 for over 10 years now as an adjunct, primarily online! I absolutely love teaching this course each Fall semester. I am looking forward to teaching an 8-week course again. I feel this format is a perfect pace for students in this course. I tried it for the first time last Fall and had great success with my students, compared to my 16-week course. Keeping their attention in an online course for 16-weeks can be more challenging. Having done this for so long, I am not nervous about anything but am looking forward to the new book format (OER). Have a great semester, everyone!

What I find most rewarding is the long-term impact we have on our students' lives, encouraging them to follow their passion and dreams to keep them from getting discouraged.

I have been full-time faculty at the college and university level for 30 years, in both the US and Australia. I have been at Lone Star College since 2012, and I was honored to be among the Founding Forty faculty at LSC-Online. It has been a privilege to be chair of EDUC 1300 at for several years.

What I always most look forward to in a semester is working with our students and in empowering our faculty to create a meaningful, compassionate, and transformative first year experience for our students. So much rides on our success here - the future of our individual students' lives, the future of their communities and nations. We must give ourselves and them a bit of grace when there are the inevitable setbacks.

This year what concerns me most is both our commitment and our ability to creating safe, productive spaces for students to explore the great upheavals occurring across all sectors, including - significantly - tech in the form of AI.
