Last Friday, October 24th, Mr. Miller took some of the students from our class and a few students from the school who are very interested in journalism on a flied trip for a day. the trip wasn't too far. we went to a high school journalism day at a local Connecticut college.
While we were there, i was honored to be able to listen to one of the professors teach us all about journalism ethics. Professor Jerry Dunklee, a journalism professor at SCSU, is one of the most unique men i have ever met. he used his own way of teaching to ask us the answers, and sometimes even ask us what the questions are to get his point across. i have yet to come across any teachers like that so far in my almost 13 years of education. He is just one of those people that can get your attention by just saying "hello" and then you are stuck and you don't want to stop listening to what he is saying.
On top of how great of a educator he is, this man is also hilarious. Professor Dunklee talked in a manor that was extremely amusing to his audience. He used the phrase "Brother from another mother!" which one could say got the large crowd laughing. yes, including teachers and advisers. However, he can say the type of things that can really get you thinking about who you are.
"There are some students who should say 'just shut up and get out of our way'". That made me wish i could be one of those students, one of those students who just get it, everything clicks, who knew what they were doing and don't need be be told how to complete an assignment in many different ways. Unfortunately, it takes me awhile to comprehend something, but once i do finally get it i get the ball rolling and understand something enough to write about it.
SCSU is one of the colleges that i plan on applying to for next year, after meeting Professor Jerry Dunklee, It made me want to go there even more.
