ON IMPACTING STUDENTS
“I was in the store the other day and I saw one of my former students who graduated two or three years ago. He was telling me about how much he loved my class, and how now he’s at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. I've gotten letters and e-mails from lots of other students.” Lynne’s active and communicative approach to teaching has clearly impacted her students, many of whom take her Web Design class as an elective, and are going into the course with a passion for or interest in the subject.
Lynne also works with students on Independent Studies, a relatively new course option in her department at her school. Students work individually with her while they complete an intense project they create for themselves for their senior year. She’s worked with many students over the last few years on their independent projects. “All my students who do independent study take their work home with them and come back with these gorgeous projects. I don’t have to solicit students to do an independent study any more; they just come to me because they’re interested.”
