The second semester of the academic year 2008-2009 just started. The second semester is the longest semester due to the two-three week break for Christmas. However, it seems to be the shortest because of the numerous activities that keep both faculty and students busier than usual.

This semester, however, I have a class with 13 students and another with 29 students. I cannot wait to learn from the students this semester. Yeah, you read that right – I will LEARN from them. This is exactly what I told my students in one of my classes – that I will not be lecturing but instead, we will learn from each other – not a one-way street. We will see how this goes.
