Lecturing done: time for reflection
It’s all done, I have just finished lecturing my last course at the School for Journalism in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Time for some reflection with 
comments from the student evaluations.
Evaluations
During the final lecture of each course the students fill out a self-made evaluation form. Completely new for me was teaching blogging within a School. The fourth-year students work in a crossmedia lab, using mostly radio and television, and had to now integrate Campusblog.nl in their schedule.

Lecturing English. Yes, it can be fun!
It’s a bit of a challenge, lecturing English to first year Dutch Journalism students. Most walk in thinking it will be 2 hours of listening to boring present-tense and past-tense rules, maybe like it used to be in High School. Well, I have set myself a challenge.
