Third Observation!!

Today I was given the opportunity to sit in Dr. Judith Harris's class. The class is taking place in the second floor of the Carl De Santis Building room 2071. It is 1 pm so students are usually in their most efficient time of the day considering that they just had lunch. Dr. Harris is currently lecturing in her Intermediate Accounting II class. The objective of the course is to further express the theory of financial accounting. Today Dr. Harris is discussing bonds and how to treat them. During the lecture, she will often make comical remarks to lighten the tension of the course. They are often quite humorous and would make me chuckle.

Dr. Harris is middle aged, short in stature, and a former Boston, Massachusetts's citizen. It is quite obvious that she is very enthusiastic about accounting. She also understand the the material can be challenging so she often lectures at a slow but effective pace. She often mentions what students should know and what really isn't important. The students in the classroom seemed very attentive and were strictly focused on what she was discussing. Anyone who knows her personally or has had her for a class will confirm that she truly cares for her students. Aside from the classroom, Dr Harris volunteers a portion of her free time to the accounting club. She has been the club advisor for thirteen years now! As the advisor, she attends all meetings, provides assistance to members, and makes suggestions towards proposals made by executive board officers.

Professors such as Dr. Harris is what makes Nova so great to be apart of. Hope you all enjoyed reading and stay tuned!
