Meeting a Roman

What's New for Me in 2012
Jaime asked the question this week about what each of us will experience for the first time on this Rome trip. Rome, of course, isn't new for me, but every year there is a new group of students. I must admit, that I am always anxious about each group before the trip begins. There is always the excitement of sharing what I know about Rome with students but there is the anguish of wondering if the group will really respond. This Blog, for example, is new to the course. I worry that members of the group don't think it adds anything to the experience. Like the Blog, the quality of the experience always depends upon student reaction. Dealing with disappointed or non cooperative students always takes away from the experience--for the whole group. So far, I am encouraged by the group. I look forward to getting to know everyone better.

As I've said before, I'm sure we'll have much to blog about and want to share with people back home. Blogging will be very much helpful!
ReplyDeleteDr. Webber,
ReplyDeleteIt has been difficult to keep up with the blog so far because of the pressures we were facing during the spring semester. I hope I am not only speaking for myself, but I am very excited about our upcoming trip, and I think we are all going to enjoy the blog very much. Especially because we need our thoughts and ideas to be organized in order to complete our assignment so honestly I believe that the blog is an overall terrific idea.
