The email I received from the University of Metaphysical Sciences was misunderstood by myself. This is a correction.
The name of the school has not changed. It is the church associated with the school that has changed its name. The degrees granted by the University of Metaphysical Sciences still bear the same name.

Seneca College
Yesterday I had my first day back at Seneca@York for the summer semester. What a bright new crop of students I seem to have for this new semester. We discussed everything from conspiracy theories, to the Tamil protest to racism to beautiful Canadian islands. Two students introduced me to a great new singer named Jason Maraz. It was so inspiring to have such lively discussions with some young people who seemed to show themselves from the first day as having such bright minds.
The key and challenge now will be to sustain this momentum. This is always the challenge with teaching. You want to make sure if you have a great first day that you can sustain that momentum throughout the 14 or 15 weeks of the course. I will do my part, I can just hope that they will do theirs.
The first assignment I have my media writing students doing is an online piece where they actually have to get at least one original source. They had some grumbles about that, however I am sure they will find this to be a rewarding experience.
Well...until next time.
