I thought I was pursuing a degree that was a part of the education department.
It was not until we all started working on the Project B assignments that I started to realize that I was not a part of the education department, but rather a part of the Learning Technologies Department. I don’t suppose it much matters, but still it was a surprise to me.
I have read more material about the reorganization of these departments that happened recently. Now I am wondering, was I ever in the education dept, and this reorganization changed that? or was this always somehow separate?
And, in working with the materials, I learned about Discovery Park, sometimes also referred to as research park. A completely separate place. Not on the main campus. And not, by the way, closer to Dallas.
This was all a surprise to me. I suppose I got an email about it at some point. But I typically delete the UNT emails. Most of them don’t apply to me. They are often about things happening on campus. For example, I can learn about keeping myself safe as I walk from the library to my dorm late at night. Or I can learn about clubs and activities. Or how to be more aware of and sensitive to diversity. Like I said. I delete most of them. Perhaps one of them told me all about the reorganization of the department I’m in.
Anyway, now I feel a little more clued in.
Good to know.
I guess.
Really at the end of the day, if someone hands me a piece of paper that says I have a Masters degree, I will be happy enough.
