The Most Beautiful Library (click here for more...)

The Metso Library is one of the most beautiful libraries I have ever seen.  It is very close to our house and we go quite often.  They don't have every book in English that I might want, but they do have quite a bit.  Last night Kate and I went there and took these pictures:

The walk to work! (click here for more...)

It takes me about 40 minutes to walk to work here in Tampere.  This makes a total of about 5 miles per day just walking to and from TAMK.  These are some of the more interesting things that I see on a daily basis.

 

The Last Day of Operations Management

We have been in Finland for almost 3 months out of 10.  I have been very busy teaching 2 sections of Operations Management at TAMK.  These classes were only 7 weeks long and had about 35 students each.  It was VERY intense.

I did enjoy teaching those classes.  The students are about 50% international students and 50% Finnish.  They are high-quality students and I am looking forward to teaching them more as the year goes on.

HOWEVER now that I have some more spare time, I plan to update this record of my teaching experience here regularly.

While you are waiting for more posts, here are some pictures of my Operations Management classes from Fall 2010:
