Teaching at STAN (Again)

This semester, I got 4 classes to teach at STAN. I have already asked for a break at leat two semesters to focus on my thesis and office work at Pusdiklat Keuangan Umum; still, STAN put me in their list this semester. It’s such a big burden again for me, yet I’ll take that since I do love teaching. It is a legitimate skill like those in any other profession, so I have to be professional. I have to show everyone that I have the skills training, experience, compassion and commitment to make my students successful. Another reason is that I really love to facilitate and nurture the intellectual growth of my students, so that in turn, they are inspired to learn and motivated to achieve mastery of the subject that I teach.

So, my plan this semester, I have to ask a TA to help me handle my class in case I am not able to come to class. An assistant can also help me to improve my syllabus and evaluate my  teaching process in class. This will cost me extra money, but I doesn’t really matter. I gain enthusiasm by doing things the way I like it to be.

Teaching is by no means an easy task. But it is also fascinating challenge because it really isn’t about teaching at all.  It’s about learning — there’s another person involved in all of this. So, okay, I will teach four classes again this semester.
