Museum Designs and Résumés

Over the last week or so, students have been busy designing (to scale!) the front of our museum. Today they voted on their top three choices from all of those submitted. There was a clear winner which will be announced in class tomorrow. Stay tuned for details!

They worked hard on their résumés in class. It was fun listening to the discussions today about which university was the best for which degree based on their desired jobs. My classes are full of people who very ambitious and some who had to be dissuaded from the idea of obtaining 10 PhDs. This did generate some good conversations on how college works, how references work and why it’s not a bad idea to have a wide variety of experiences. I had copies of my résumé in class to help them get a feel for what one looks like and how it might be structured. They will have half of class tomorrow to work on their résumés before they turn them in. Students will also be working on another quick summary of their biography.
