Coming here I had visions of the lonely school houses on the prairies with everyone stuck in one class room. The reality turned out to be a little bit of everything. Most of the classrooms are four walls and a white board with no electricity, fan, lighting or anything to go with it. A typical class room here would hold maybe 25 students back in Canada, but they have no problem squeezing 100 plus into one here.

The central auditorium is actually more like a church auditorium then a class room. Here a microphone is required for everyone to hear you and you can use a projector. While, if the energy is working you can use a projector! I plan for the power to cut out at least twice every lecture as it is such a common occurrence here.

The university is still in the process of growing and developing itself. I did get to witness a town hall meeting that they had with the students to tell them about some upcoming changes and I was very impressed to see that they made sure the students had a forum to ask questions and to get feedback from the leaders.

Teaching the lessons I am reminded of the classes I was in back at home. You have a small group who are interested in everything, asking questions and participating. The bulk are happy to take notes and fly under the radar. Of course there are a few who resemble me from when I was in school and seem like they are not paying attention for the life of them.
