Reshuffling

Next year's teaching schedule is having to be rearranged; one of our faculty has resigned, effective the end of this semester, and the Assistant Chair (who is responsible for course assignments) is scrambling to fill the hole. As matters stand, it looks like I won't be teaching the GenEd statistics course after all, but rather the junior-level course in abstract algebra. That's fine with me; I don't mind teaching the stat course, but abstract algebra is one of my specialties. (My other two courses will be Calc II and a course on Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry. The latter is fun; as for the former, well, at least the students have some idea why they need the course, which always helps.)

Of course, as the AC told me, this is effective only until the next rearrangement...
