Show Notes

We're back baby! Season 3! Here we go. We are now going to go to a monthly format. Life is crazy, so we'll try this new format and see how it goes. 

We kick things off by revisiting my old stomping grounds at Western University. Have you ever thought about transitioning to teaching at the university/college level?! You should highly consider it! I highly recommend it! I had the best time of my life teaching at Western University back in the day. I even got my own office! 

Today, I bring in Emma Giroux, a Business 1220 Lecturer at Western University Main campus. She's been a Lecturer there for two years. Previous to this role, Emma graduated from the Ivey Business School at Western. In this episode we talk about:

  1.  What qualifications do you need?
  2. How many students in a class? Whats marking like? 
  3. Do you deal with parents?
  4. How do you deal with academic integrity issues?
  5. What's it like teaching in a large classroom?

Check it out! I loved talking with Emma, and you'll love her too!
