Prof. Blumberg really seems to care about his students and his teaching. You can see that he really puts in effort to teach his students. What he only asks for is a little effort in return. I really enjoyed this prof!

  • Horry Georgetown Technical College

    Professor of English

    I teach introductory composition and business communication classes to technical college and university transfer-bound students.

    In Summer 2016 I completed a workflow calendar and "intrusive advising" materials for faculty advising online-only students.

    I was principal on a major overhaul of the College handbook, meeting with programs and departments across campus to revise information for accuracy, consistency and clarity.

    I have developed and currently teach online and hybrid course offerings employing new media and collaborative online work spaces.

    I have provided professional development workshops to writing tutors and new faculty on best practices on collaboration, revision and instructional technology.

    Most recently, I am participating in HGTC's new Honors Program for 2016-2017.
