Class Ideas Needed
Posted in 1996
Topics: General Discussion
I'm looking for ideas for classes at the Junior College I teach at. I teach part-time evenings and the management is superb enough to allow new ideas even from adjunct instructors. I gear my classes toward professionals rather than full-time students since evening classes are usually taken by pros and the approach seems to be well appreciated. If you are a computer professional -- or manage people who would benefit from computer classes -- could you take just a moment to answer a few questions? Please e-mail responses since I'm already feeling guilty about taking up bandwidth in the assorted newsgroups I've posted this to. 1. Do you take, or encourage employees to take, computer courses? 2. Do you prefer semester length classes, or do you prefer to take a class in 3-5 eight hour days? 3. Do you consider a local Junior College when you consider a place for training? 3a. If not, do you instead prefer 4-year colleges? 3b. Do you prefer professional seminars? (I.e, the type your company sometimes sends you cross-country to attend.) 4. What practical courses do you think you should attend for your job... or would encourage your employees to attend for their current job? (List as many as you think practical.) 5. What dream courses would you like to take? (That is, there is $$$ left in the training budget, so go take a course... any course.) 6. Finally, here are courses I've taught (or can teach immediately off the top of my head). Which course(s) would you prefer to take, or would encourage your employees to take? C for programmers C for people who never programmed C++ for programmers C++ for C programmers Windows programming in C Windows programming in C++ Data structures in C Data structures in C++ Writing HTML Programming for Winsock applications I appreciate your response very much.
