'Tis the Time to Teach (again)

The summer has come and gone and the hosts have recovered, more or less, from the conference and holiday season. The trees are starting to shed their leaves and doe-eyed students are returning to campus to soak up the knowledge that the desk reject hosts and colleagues across the university will be imparting upon them. As during every October for the past few years, the hosts are adding finishing touches to their kickoff slides and preparing for another semester of lecturing and grading. Hence, it is a good a time as ever to reflect on how the teaching experience has changed since the last episode (which was recorded over 2.5 years ago). Among other things, the hosts reflect on: - How their teaching style has evolved over the years - What, if at all, are their tips upon hindsight - What still excites them about teaching classes - Which challenges lie ahead in terms of teaching And much more.
