Note to self (but meant to be read by anyone interested)
Do NOT assume that just because you've been assigned a hybrid course of which one credit is digital that you'll be assigned to a computer classroom that allows you to teach the technology necessary to making the digital aspect possible. Such assumptions will hurt you, when, a week before classes start you suddenly check the classroom space and see rows of tables as opposed to computers, and you nearly have a heart attack. These are things you need to ask for and agressively pursue. Please remember this in the future.

Oh, I hate to get started on the use of computers for the humanities. A colleague and I approach this institutional concern by making frenemies with tech staff. Emails a week before classes start to the tech staff outlining what capabilities are needed may go unheeded but at least the fight is started.
I must always remind myself that many computer techs don’t really want the systems used to the full extent we’d push them or find use for them in our courses.
I sympathize greatly.
Good luck,

Are you EVEN kidding me??? GRrrrr...i'm so sorry to hear it.
Good day
A balance must be achieved between the desire for innovative design and the realities of traditional operating and maintenance practices. Durability, ease of maintenance and material innovation are all incorporated into Mansour Engineering approach.
