For many this is their first teachingassignment. I was one of these graduate students. I was assigned to teach an engineeringeconomics course at the undergraduate level in the Fall 2003 semester at Old DominionUniversity (ODU). There were 36 students in my class. All of them had either junior orsenior standing in their departments. They were from various departments, i.e., CivilEngineering, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Engineering Technology, MechanicalEngineering, and Computer Science.New educators, especially graduate students, in
