It's a good but not perfect system.<br /><br />A colleague of mine, on the other hand, makes a point of destroying his teaching notes every single year so that he'll have to re-think the text each time. I'm all for keeping things fresh but don't find reinventing the wheel a good use of my time, so I have no intention of copying that particular strategy!What Now?https://www.blogger.com/profile/04017629066466055668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-45801967168936820932010-03-25T10:33:49.154-07:002010-03-25T10:33:49.154-07:00Earnest, I'm not quite sure exactly what the &...Earnest, I'm not quite sure exactly what the "that" in your comment is.
