Going Back to Cali as a PhD

Mon, 11 Jul 2011 22:52:00 +0000

I'm proud to announce that I've submitted my dissertation and passed my defense. I'm a full fledged PhD. I've taught college courses since early 2005, but it will feel very nice to see "Dr. Falero" on the top of the syllabus!

Going back to California for the dissertation defense was full of wonderful things, including the possibility of returning. When it becomes a reality, I'll be sure to post it here, but there is the likelihood of teaching again on the horizon, and for that (and many other things) I am grateful.

Stay tuned!

Philly!

Thu, 12 Aug 2010 16:23:00 +0000

Life in Philadelphia has been good, but very tiring! I happened to move during a heat wave. A month and a half long heat wave. Apparently the hottest summer on record. But even though I haven't done as much walking around as I would like, I am getting to know my new city.

I am not checking my Fullerton email as often, so you might have trouble contacting me there. If you are a student and you need to email me, please use the contact form on this site or try my personal email sandramfalero at yahoo dot com.

Leaving for Philadelphia

Sun, 30 May 2010 18:48:00 +0000

Now that the Spring 2010 semester has come to a close, I am happy to say that I will be moving to Philadelphia this June. I enjoyed my years at CSU Fullerton, they were truly, very rewarding. The students, faculty, and staff helped me grow and enjoy life as a teaching professor. I can't think of a better job to have. I only hope that wherever I end up, I continue to have as much joy for teaching as I did in Fullerton.

Spring 2010 Semester!

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 23:18:00 +0000

If you are a student enrolled in my Intro to American Popular Culture course for Spring, the Blackboard sites for my classes have been made available. There you should find the relevant materials for the first week of class, including syllabus and reading assignments.

If you are not yet enrolled, please do so as soon as you can, as seats filled up quickly last semester and not one student dropped in any of my 60-seat capacity sections! Be sure to get on the wait list to add so that you can avoid any first week hassles.

Hoping to enroll and don't have access to the Blackboard site yet? The syllabus will be handed out the first day of class, but if you'd like to get started on reading, you should find the articles for the first week's discussion posted here in the Articles section.

I check my work email frequently so please e-mail me with any questions:

sfalero@fullerton.edu

Thanks!

Moving to Philadelphia!

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 02:31:00 +0000

Well folks, it looks like I'm going to say goodbye to sunny southern California. I'm moving to Philadelphia in the summer of 2010 and will be looking for adjunct positions asap. If you hear anything about job openings in academic circles, clue me in!

Welcome Fall 2009 Students

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 05:33:00 +0000

To all my new students, welcome to my professional website. Most of our course materials are on the class Blackboard site, but I do occasionally post here. This is also where I would post if there were any problems on the campus server. Take a look around and let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks

Last Day to Turn in Rough Drafts!!

Sun, 19 Apr 2009 21:45:00 +0000

Monday April 20th is the last day for students in my Pop Culture courses to turn in rough drafts of the Analytical Essay. Rough Drafts are not required, but if you didn't do as well as you had hoped on the Midterm, a rough draft is highly recommended. Be sure to get them in by 5pm. Send email submissions to my campus email address.
