During the week of March 14th to March 20h, all sophomore digital electronics classes convened in the auditorium. The schedule change was abrupt, with most students receiving notification less than a week in advance. Assistant Principal, Randell Barclay, revealed that a majority of the digital electronics teachers were mandated to receive extra training.

Digital Electronics offers each students that passes the class with a grade of 85 or higher the opportunity to earn college credit. However, the only teachers that Tech had certified to teach the course were Mr. Chan, Mr. Grosshart, Mr. Williams, and Mr. McCollum.

The decision was made to train the remaining D.E. teachers immediately so that the students could obtain their college credit at the end of the year. During February break, the uncertified teachers volunteered to attend training from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the week. It was determined that the week when grades were due was the best option to complete the training.

Barclay stated that at this point in time, all Brooklyn Tech Digital Electronics teachers are fully certified and can offer college credit.

When asked about the lecture hall type of teaching that occurred this week, he said it would not be common. The only circumstances it would occur under are if the school was to have a special speaker or all students of a certain subject were required to convene.

You can easily have over 400 students in a lecture hall in college. It's not too bad really. Just don't dose off. But if I was learning in Tech's aud, I'd be blown away by its size and beauty instead of the material taught
