I felt like I learnt a lot from the second block of lessons. I wasn't happy with the class, so it made me work even harder. This is to say that I already worked really hard, but now I realized that I want to prepare all my own material and that I need to be comfortable with the lesson plan and have interesting activities.
I had a bit more time to plan for the third block of lessons since there was one week between block two and three. This was great. Fact is, that I was teaching another course at the same time with 6 teaching hours a week so I could focus a bit on those. The teaching methods for the third block was further developed in between preparations for the other classes and in impulses. I stayed with the core plan to have my students to do research on computer in pairs and find answers to share in our Optima blog.
The class was a mix o lecture and research. Unfortunately we only had 90 minutes, I had previously planned it for a 3 hour block of lessons. But lessons never go exactly as planned. The students were working very well and felt it was nice to have time to find out things for themselves. I asked for feedback in the end, and most students had liked the experience. They would, however, have liked to have more time.
