Monday -- my first actual day of work here. I took the teachers bus from the Xuhui campus where we are staying to the Fengxian campus where the College of Engineering is located. The bus ride was about 45 minutes. I taught an analog electronics class -- 2-1/4 hours with a 15 minute break. There were about 50 people in the class, but because of how closely they sat, it didn't seem like a very large class. I'm just glad that I don't have to grade exams for that many students. The class seemed to go quickly, and the students appeared quite receptive to my teaching style. In just a short time, they were comfortable enough to interact with me in class. While they didn't actually ask questions, they did respond when I asked questions of them.

Does everyone speak English or is there a translator?
Also, please ask around and see if they would be interested in offering a class on cats--care, feeding, personalities, etc.
