Grayness,

You hit on one of the weaknesses of the course, there are really no applications for what I am teaching.

Why do they call 200 level courses, with no pre-requisites, at your university "bird courses"?

I typically only lecture for about one hour tops. Then we work on a project I designed.

One of the administration staff said I can expel the student from the class.

Everyone in the class is taking this course because it is a requisite for getting their two-year degree.
