About Me

I started this blog as a way of building an online community of current and past Ivy Tech paralegal students, as well as letting people interested in our program know what we're up to. This blog is not sponsored by Ivy Tech. No way, no how.

My name is Linda Kampe, and I'm the program chair of Paralegal Studies in Lafayette, Indiana. My office is in Ivy Hall 1166. Stop by and chat. For best results, make an appointment, so I know to expect you. And if you bring your own cup, I'll make you tea. Because hey, we're not animals.

Needing Some Scheduling Input!!!

On the whole, paralegal students tend to be a little older (and wiser!) than the average Ivy Tech student. You're also more likely to be employed or have family obligations. I know that several of you have told me that scheduling your classes is difficult for a variety of reasons, and I just got clearance to experiment with the schedule for fall a little bit to try to accommodate that.

One option that I'm considering is block scheduling. With a block schedule, a 3-credit-hour class would meet once per week for a 3-hour block. Evening classes are already this way, but this would allow me to schedule a class for one morning or one afternoon per week. For those of you who work, this sort of a schedule may be easier to work around. I'm leaning toward offering block classes on Monday mornings, Monday afternoons, Friday mornings, and Friday afternoons.

Please give me some feedback. Would you be interested in taking a class scheduled that way? Which of those four times most appeals to you? Send me an email at lkampe@ivytech.edu and let me know.

Thanks!

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
