My expectations for this class have changed greatly between the time I enrolled in the class and the time I read the class syllabus, this weeks reading and the assignment. I wanted to teach because I enjoyed the time I tutored students in Physics at the college level. I felt a sense accomplishment when some one I tutored felt better about themselves when the left because they had finally started to grasp a concept that eluded them only 10 minutes.
I had expected to learn software-hardware tools that would help me convey information (example problems, example tests....) to the student and allow them to access this information more easily and outside the school walls. I had no "Philosophical School of Thought" let alone know there were 6 of them.
I now expect to be uncomfortably challenged in this class. I expect to have to change my approach from an Automate to more of an Informate
