Last class by Professor Judith Fowler
Professor Judith Fowler (Sheffield, UK) gave her last class at ISSA School of Management Assistants last Tuesday, December 1st. Colleagues and students took the opportunity to pay her a small tribute in appreciation of her 28 years of teaching at the School of Management Assistants at Campus in Donostia-San Sebastian.
She joined ISSA in 1988 as an English teacher but soon became involved in the international expansion of the School. Innovative, enthusiastic and a great colleague, her constant restlessness has always been reflected in her daily work work . Thanks to her, students have participated for many years in European projects.
These are students of his memories:
1- How do you remember your first day at the University?
To tell you the truth, it was so long ago that I don't even remember agreement! But I guess with nervousness and excitement.
2- There are many graduating classes of students you have taught at class, teachers with whom you have shared faculty and colleagues who have passed through ISSA. What do you take away from them?
28 years cannot be condensed in a few words... a continuous learning could define it. I am excited to see news of alumni around the world today.
3- Over the years, you have seen many changes at the University and at ISSA. Which one has impressed you the most?
Years ago, the first Erasmus exchanges. We often had to push our female students (there were no boys at ISSA then) to take the step. This is now a thing of the past, and almost everyone wants to go. Getting the well-deserved recognition of the degree program as Degree. And then the transfer to campus in Pamplona.
4- What does it mean to have been part of the faculty of the School of Management Assistants?
I consider myself very fortunate. I will miss my colleagues.
5- Do you remember any anecdote that has marked your years at teaching?
Ha, ha! many, but you can't count them....
6- What committee would you give to a professor who has just joined the University?
To ask questions to their colleagues, to realize that they are joining a team, to always have time for the students and not only the official hours of attention to student. He should also try to get them excited and keep in mind that sometimes students are more fragile than they seem.
7- What are your plans from now on, in this new stage you are starting?
Uff! Banish the alarm clock, unless it is for a trip; travel as much as I can, and also do it when I enjoy the most, in less hectic seasons; sign up for Pilates; maybe start a new language; do some MOOC, enjoy more of my terrace and plants, with a good book...
