Professor Markley’s comments on the class: “In the past several years as I've worked with interns I have found that each individual has different interests, different strengths/weaknesses.  I like to be flexible in relationship to the intern and their interests.  I also want to make sure that they gain a comprehensive understanding of what teaching at a community college entails.  I would like each intern to make up their specific "work plan" or job description in relationship to their unique needs using the outline above.  The time in which I meet with the intern includes discussion of upcoming lectures, discussing issues in the classroom (classroom management, class performance, etc.), issues in relationship to campus activities, and tutoring issues.”
