OK, so this class I've been teaching all summer:
I've never taught college level before. I've been making mistakes all semester, i.e. grades (which i finally got the formulas right).
Plus I've known most of the materials all my life, and some of it is new to me, but sometimes I feel like I've failed because I'm not communicating it properly.
Plus this class was thrown at me with 2 days to prepare for 15 weeks. I finally am almost a week ahead in my notes for the class.
I just feel frustrated that the students aren't getting their moneys worth. Most of them are passing and they did pretty well on the mid term.
However my question is this. If you were in my situation and discovered that you had a brain malfunction while reading a sentence and skipped over a couple of words...thus repeating it to your students incorrectly, what would do?
I just feel bad that I keep having backtrack myself and want the students to feel like they have a decent teacher.
I know honesty is the best policy, but I just feel bad that I'm messing up my students education.
