So this semester I am taking a grand total of three classes...but before you scoff, remember these are grad school classes and thus have more credits attached to them :).
My first class is museum facilitation and this is the class attached to my internship. In addition to spending two-working days at our internship, we spend a lot of time learning and researching educational theorists and teaching techniques. Since I learned most of this in my undergrad classes, it has been a great refresher and a little hard separating all the different theories because they have all become molded together in my mind creating my own learning theory and technique. What fun! I am enjoying it and learning a lot.
My next class is museum audiences! We learn about audiences! Surprise! It's a really good course about different audiences and groups that will come to the museums. Our class is taught by an employee from the National Park Service and she really knows what she is doing.
My final class is exhibition design and we have this class in the Air and Space Museum. It's a blast! Our final project is to design a poster that will hang in the museum for about 4 months. It is really interesting course and I am learning a lot. We are learning how to use two programs: InDesign and Photoshop.
My schedule is pretty busy, even with just three classes. I am really enjoying this semester but I am looking forward to the semester break in December!
