I've had people present on videos they produced, for example. I practice what I preach. I demand for myself a comprehensive set of avenues to make solutions and then ally solutions and synchronize solutions. Without my own practice, it would be a sham. If there's one thing I've learned as an educator it is that I am thoroughly prepared for my classes.
Students have to rise to some level beyond mediocrity.
I don't come to my class and find students sitting around reading the Emerald. They are ready to start. The preparation is nothing more than a template for ravenous inquiry that I'm equally after. The ten weeks we have is in no way like the ten weeks they might have heard about last term. We can't script the dialogues, we can't script the stories, we can't script the despair.
