on feeling stupid as a bag of hammers
Feb. 4th, 2005 01:45 pmnothing makes me reconsider my abilities and knowledge like considering how to take some subject i think i know about and crushing it into a 8 or 10 session class suitable for high school students.
i'm thinking about putting together a class for the MIT High School Studies Program, but not sure what to do. i could easily do a "how the internet works" class, i guess.
i did teach a basic circuits class for the HSSP one-shot class "SPLASH" program back when i was in college, but i'd have to re-learn the details on much of that before i felt comfortable teaching it. i could teach something non-technical, but i'm not sure what.
definitely, there's something about trying to put together a class and explicitly teach people things that's down there with jobhunting as a thing that brings out my "i know nothing, i'm stupid as a bag of hammers" self-doubt.
must ponder how and why this is so...
