Being the Instructor... If Only For a Moment

I just had two presentations discussing APA style back to back for a Rhetoric 160 course. There is something so liberating and rewarding about sharing information to people who, for one reason or another, listen. I want to encourage all the staff to take advantage of presenting APA materials to rhetoric classes for a variety of reasons. Reason #1 If you are going to be a teacher, you should get all the practice you can. Reason #2 Being shy is not a good excuse for not getting in front of a small class. All consultants have a working knowledge of APA and reviewing the material on the PowerPoint will make it easy to discuss with a class. In fact, if you are shy you should find ways to safely move out of your shell and what better way than to present to a class who wants to listen (because they want a good grade)! Reason #3 Eventually someone (probably you) will have to take my position as APA guru and I need an apprentice. I want to continue spreading the word about how easy and great APA is and I need your help! Reason #___ Insert your own reason in the comments section. I agree with Aaron, we need to breathe some life into this blog! Cheers, Genevieve
