It is my mission and goal to help you to become responsible for your own education, especially in the field of Communication. I do want to contribute to your education, but I do not want to be responsible for it. I have my hands full with my responsibilities for my own education: intellectually, financially, emotionally, logistically, chronologically, and pedagogically. As some of you might already understand, I am no fan of “systematic soldiering” – (mhm definition: from Taylorism and Scientific Management - doing the minimum possible in order to obtain the maximum grade this professor is willing to be talked into).
Learning is a very important concept for me, and I hope to be able to share my concept of it with you. How we do that is a mutually reinforcing, iterative and interactive process, I often call it Communication. Collaboration is also a major part of what I expect from you. Together, you and I and your classmates will try to reach a common understanding of how we are going to contribute to each other’s education, while actively working within the common framework of the classroom, the department and the institution of NMSU.
