I'm still pretty new at being an educator (okay, I'm still so green I could be a leprechaun, lol).
This is my first semester with a classroom course of my own, I only teach parttime while my main job in still in the hospital. I've agreed to teach the class again this summer. I just found out that a friend from my church has applied to the nursing school, and I really hope she gets in! It means she will be in my class this summer if she is accepted.
So, my question is, have you had friends in your classes, from before thier enrollment? Was it awkward? If they ask questions, such as at church or for extra help, how did you deal with it? I don't have an office, and don't really have office hours, although students can email anytime. I am only on campus on the one day a week I teach. I don't have a problem with students asking for help outside class (some that should be asking aren't! ); I was just curious if anyone has run into this themselves.
