As a non-trad student myself, it's so refreshing to have instructors (like YOU will be) that treat their students like the adults they are. I'm glad you love your new campus and you'll get used to the rail pass machine . You might drop a email or letter to the PTB for the rail line and see if 'non-consecutive' passes are in the works. If they get enough requests, they might start offering them. Second the “yes” for non-tradition colleges (and students).

Used to teach night courses in feature writings at the Scottsdale campus...evening courses are the most fun because they're full of grown-ups who are taking courses because they WANT to, not because someone said they have to. That's how I came to write <i>The Essential Feature</i>, which amazingly enough is still in print. It was intended to fill a specific niche: a textbook (not a self-help book) for nonfiction writing courses whose students are not journalism majors. @ Chance & Simply Forties: I’ve always enjoyed the adjunct courses I’ve taught at community colleges in the past.

I think you are going to love the students, their stories, their work ethic, their dreams. Personally, I got a second chance at a place like Paradise Valley, and I had my life transformed completely by the faculty I encountered, teachers like you. You are going to have so much fun with this job. Congratulations. Said it before, I’ll say it again: Community colleges rock.
