3 things for journalism students

Three things I'll tell students in the first session of Roosevelt University's Journalism 319 News Reporting class today:

* You have the right to understand everything taught and the right to demand alternative explanations until you do. (That's what good reporters do!)

* You'll learn something useful every class.

* You won't be bored.

If at any time you find the class fails to live up to these standards, please advise your professor immediately. (Sample: "Hey, Charlie: This is boring!")

Want to audit the class, held 9:30 a.m. each Friday? Want to volunteer as a guest speaker? Email me.

P.S. I'm excited about returning to the college-prof role, but it in no way marks the end of my quest for a full-time job. Spread the word.
