Fall into the Season
Next week marks the beginning of the fall semester at the community college where I teach in the medical assisting program. I am looking forward to meeting new students and getting back in front of the class. It's such a good feeling to see these excited faces in the classroom. The only difference this time is I will be teaching full-time at an online university.
In the past, I worked on a contract basis, which meant I took teaching assignments that fit my schedule. My courseload will be pretty full this fall, and I will have to rely on my skills as a master of organization skills. In addition to my duties as a full-time instructor, I have other responsibilities as a full-time faculty member. The good news is that some of classes are taught on different days of the week, which gives me some downtime to prepare for the courses. The two schools are also on different schedules, which provides downtown for me to catch my breath. My years of working as a RHIA extraordinaire has taught me how to juggle multiple tasks, prioritize and work smarter to get the job done.
