Yesterday I held my last lecture and tutorial session at NUS. It went well and I feel pretty satisfied at all that I have accomplshed here in Singapore. 25 new lectures, 10 sets of homework assignments. The students seem satisfied (and they are demanding students so I don't think that they are happy because I let them off lightly). ALl that is left is to put together a small exam for Tuesday and then read and orally examine 8 project reports. Today the director of the agency that funded my Fellowship was here to meet with the three Swedes on Teaching Sabbatical here in Singapore. Pretty positive, and we also discussed ideas for making it possible to come back in two or three years to refine the concept. As we all agreed today, when doing what we have done for the first time there is not really time for innovative teaching methods, but if we were to come back we would be able to experiment in a totally different way. We will see if that idea comes to anything.
Great day, I feel pretty proud of myself!
