this is just one reason i'm so glad i'm leaving: "Quite frankly, I think working with you has been a disapointment [sic] from the start. Is there anyone else I can work with who has a better handle on teaching?" this from a guy who is only available during a crisis and refuses to come to any training sessions, even the ones where we paid him. i'm still a little ragged about it, but i learned my lesson from therese baker and simply passed him to someone else. garrett accepted and said, "Oh, Gretchin; what a terrible thing to say! Don't listen to him." and i hate it when he says the right thing because i still don't trust him not to turn around to the instructor and agree with him.
in other campus news, apparently the csu itac group is submitting an rfp for a learning management system for the whole of the csu. teresa won't take my bet that they'll choose blackboard. they'll probably know by the end of june. personally, it would be a good excuse to dabble w/ blackboard; too bad i won't be here. :)
