MS 379: ORAL HISTORY COLLECTION

Sue Thomsen
Biography
Interview transcript, 1999

Interview portion:

TZB:  What are your classes like here?

ST:    It depends on what level.  I teach one one-hundred level class, which is animal biology, which all biology majors take, which is fun because that way -- there are some students, that’s the only class I see them in.  And then, I teach one two-hundred level class and one three-hundred level class and then three four-hundred level classes.  I enjoy teaching all of them, but the four-hundred level ones I enjoy the most because by that time, the students that are in there -- most of them I know and I’ve had before.  And they have enough background that they can ask more intelligent questions on what you’re doing, instead of, “What did you just say?”  Especially labs.  I love teaching the labs.  That’s the most fun.
