Kevin Donlin’s Education
-
Wayne State University
MA Program , Education , 1990 — 1992
Completed all requirements for a Master of Arts in Teaching except dissertation. Found the courses on teaching about as useful as courses on swimming that asked you to discuss theories of swimming, write papers about swimming, and maybe dip your toes in the water, but never actually swim.
-
Michigan State University
BA , James Madison College: International Relations; German minor , 1983 — 1988
Still have Vietnam-like flashbacks of all the bluebook tests and term papers at James Madison College. All we did was write. Now, I'm grateful for the muscle memory it built up, sort of like how Daniel-san learned karate moves by waxing Mr. Miyagi's cars.
