The classroom

Wooden or plastic desks and chairs in regimented rows for about 50 students. The teacher has a raised podium and lectern, in front of a large blackboard. Chalk provided. No overhead projector or AV equipment. No clock. Overhead fans. Heating in winter.


The classrooms are on the ground floor and the staffroom/office (for the VU staff) on the first floor – for which my arthritic knees will be most thankful. The computer lab is in the opposite building only 5 minutes away. The library, however, is a shuttle bus stop away. Photocopying needs to be ordered 2 days in advance, and is discouraged.


Three computers (connected to the internet !) in the staffroom. Simple but adequate facilities.
