FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Hey Scott,

Do you still teach? I was wondering if you'd teach maybe some biochemistry or exercise science course online that a lot of us would like to take. I'm a junior in college, and several hundred miles away from Arizona, thanks to the Internet though, I'm still able to learn a lot online.

If you did consider teaching a course, maybe offer it online as well? Would sign up in a heart beat, plus weekly discussion sections regarding these topics would be kickass

That's a kind thought, man.

Right now I'm not formally associated with a University, so it wouldn't do many folks any good for me to do something like that (as a University course), i.e., no college credit could be issued.

I was an adjunct at U. Tampa in 2015 (and just did a guest lecture there a month or so ago), but am really not especially in favor of online teaching. It's a great way to disseminate info. for those who are truly interested (so it might work as a CEU course), but falls flat on it's face in many ways at the University level. (I'm not an educational psychologist, but I'd have quite a diatribe on that point. The lack of social and psychological engagement that happens here, and thus the inability to teach to students' learning styles, was really apparent to me as an adjunct where 50% of the course was delivered online.)
