This semester, I'm doing POS 111 American Government and POS 125 State

incredible software called Blackboard which is relatively easy to use
and offers a lot of course flexibility.

I've used Blackboard and it is, indeed, excellent.


If I leave the
school, there won't be any online Political Science classes in the
fall.

Ah well. Undoubtedly the optimism-curing effects are
much greater in class than over the wires. That's really
what I wanted to see. I would pay lots to attend a class
or two with my elder son, who is now a sophomore (in
more ways than one, I sometimes think). Odd points of
view that boy has, and all joking aside, I dunno where he
got 'em... still, I am definitely an optimist at heart. Versus
the wife, who is, as she says, "a realist."
