This week has been a really rewarding week. I have only had one big challange and several big victories. M challange this week is that Brandon Hill was fully booked for meetings so I have to wait. My victories are that Bill looked over the syllabus and really liked it, He said that the class sections and tuition problem is up to someone else, and I am doing a good job. This was so encouraging to me! I have been trying to get the syllabus to look just right and I think I have it. After I meet with Brandon I will know for sure but this is a big victory for this week. I have learned one leadership lesson this week and that is that it is better to meet in person than through email...especially when they never return emails.
I have one question for the rest of the class that is more about curiousity than anything else. Does anyone else think they know what a good class size for LDR for RAs would be? I was thinking 15 to 20 because there would be either 3 groups or 4 groups of 5.

That's a good size. Once it gets over 20 people don't get as much individual attention and it's easier for them to fall through the cracks.
ReplyDeleteyes I definately agree with Becky and 15-20 is good, you need to make it big enough to have a variety of backgrouds and such, but also big enough where you can split off into groups to make it more personal and go deeper with people. You are able to get connected with almost everyone in the class when you keep it at this size!
ReplyDeleteyeah 15-20. I like the idea of splitting them up in groups of 5. That way you can do some different teambuilding activities easily. you also have multiple groups so you can have them compete against the others. The only thing you need to remember with multiple groups is that you need multiple facilitators if you're going to have them all do something at once (example: low ropes out at Ketchum). For classes that are lecture based I like 10 a lot more than 15-20. It makes everyone participate a little more.
