"The teacher's job is to design learning experiences; not primarily to impart information." -Fred Brooks
A favorite, lesser known quote of Fred's from his technical communications course at UNC and a SIGCSE talk. Beyond a software engineer and researcher, he was an extraordinary educator. His design ethos carried through to pedagogy, as well, and has been an inspiration to me. Thanks, Fred.
- Jare 4y agoDuring my short stint in academia, I once addressed our room full of students with something like "Our role here is not to teach you; it's to provide you with the best context in which you can learn." I have often wondered where that philosophy came from, and I an very happy to have an idea now.
