The first ten weeks of my course have passed, and we have the Easter break until we start the second half of the semester. My students gave me a letter, some Japanese biscuits and Cleistocactus!
I have taught since 2017, and more and more, this experience has made me give serious consideration to how to improve my teaching skills. I wish I could spend more time preparing and doing more research on the subject.
I am keen to improve my information-giving skills, create materials, become a better tutor, and pursue a teaching career, although my family, friends and colleagues say, ‘Don’t forget. Your focus is your PhD.’
Some PhD students make career decisions a year before finishing their PhD. I still hope to finish at the end of this year, and before that, I would have to decide ‘what’ and ‘where’ I do for the next step.
