Classroom: Seattle, 4/18/2008 - 4/20/2008
I am taking this class, at this point, as an 'auditor" though I do intend to complete the coursework and develop a cirriculum for "Theology of Work."
All but three of the students were vocational ministry workers working on their masters or doctrates degree. Three of us were involved in jobs outside vocational ministry.
I am not sure what I expected of the class, yet it was good; very academic, but this is coming from a guy who has not been a classroom in 35 years.
The instructor, Professor R. Paul Stevens was incredibly prepared and it is obvious that he has spent many years living, not just teaching, his subject. He put forth his views very purposefully and appeared to be extremely thorough in the content.
While there were occasions for interaction, I felt he wanted more than he got.
On the afternoon of day 2, Professor Stevens stopped the class for 15 minutes of "quiet-time." This was in addition to a scheduled break. The students and other staff, there were 17 of us in all, spent time in prayer, or I suppose just relaxing. It was an incredible experience.
Professor Stevens shared over 600 power point screens of information and data. Not only did he teach from them, he allowed us to copy the power point presentation for future reference. This was incredibly helpfull in taking notes during the class. Many of these screens he did not share in class, but we now have them for insight into more of his teaching.
I was gratefull I had spent so much time in his books the past 2 months.
