A few years ago I started joking that university teaching is not difficult, and can be easily accomplished in two steps: read book talk about book At a certain level of abstraction this joke describes how I actually do teach. If pressed, I’ll say that good undergraduate teaching in the humanities requires asking just the right questions: considering the particularities of the book, the specific students you’ve got, and what you want the question itself to put together for them. But trying to get into too much more detail about a method obliges a discussion of the specific books and students which generate those questions, quickly becoming too particular to be useful for discussion
Wow, what an introduction. Sorry I missed the course. I will however, read Plato's Republic. Would have liked to have participated in the discussion. We need more of this curriculum for our young ones today in the education arena. After the plandemic, the souls of our children were sucked dry. It is/was detrimental for the social, intellectual, physical, well being of the most vulnerable of our society. Thank you for bringing this refreshing approach to educating in such bizarre times. God Speed
