i guess i’m a teacher when…

I made my first syllabus.

Well I spent a majority of yesterday working out a syllabus for my Romans class. I had been putting it off for few weeks now. Partly the reason was I needed to finish working through the text so as to get a big picture of what is going on, but that was mainly an excuse for my procrastation.

I’ve got most of it done, but I have a little bit more formatting stuff that I want to do.

I haven’t messed with making a word doc in a while, I forgot how frustrating that program is. That is whenever you want to do anything even mildly creative, it seems to laugh in your face. When I used to work the computer store, I used InDesign a lot; I got used to being able to infinitely tweak the formatting.

It seems in the process of dumbing everything down for the average user, they {Microsoft programmers} have made advancing formatting virtually impossible.

Maybe I am expecting too much from the program, but when I {a fairly advanced user} can’t figure out how to move a table around on the page, then something seems very wrong.

Whenever I get the finished product posted on FUMCclass.com, I’ll post a link.

{update: I have finished the syllabus, here it is.}
