Whee! I got the highest grade in my class on my history research paper that I've been working on all semester. I got a 98! The professor, I was told vigorously by other students in the department, does not give A's, but apparently did in my case! Yay! Also, the professor has asked me to submit a proposal to present the paper at the south-eastern conference of a national historical convention. I'm very excited!
I've got one other final on Monday, and then I have a final test and another final paper due on Thursday, and then I am done for this semester! What a wild time!
I also really, really, really want to be a Rhodes Scholar while I'm getting my PhD... but I don't think I qualify because I'm too old (I don't think you can be over 24 years old, and I'm quite recently 26).
And! I found out what class I'll be teaching as part of my assistanceship with the History Department. I got assigned a section of an American History survey. Out of the three GTAs, I'm the only female, but the actual professors and departmental heads are mostly women, so I don't feel out of place. The professor I'm assigned to be teaching for is interested in my arts background, and she wants each GTA to create one lecture on a topic of their choosing during the semester. I'd love to do the influence of comic books in modern culture (from a "Buy War Bonds!" perspective).
So, to all my teacher/professor friends, any advice for a first time GTA teaching a general education requirement course?
