Anti-Teaching
I would be lost in his classroom. I am an old school learner like he described. I want to sit in my desk near the back of the room and know exactly what is required of me for the class. I have gotten better but am easily frustrated when I have to figure things out on my own. What a tremendous sense of accomplishment his students would have at the end of the semester when the final project was finished.

People sometimes think that I know so much about technology, but more and more I believe that I just know how to find answers about technology. No one will ever be completely comfortable in self-directed learning. Even in this class I would like to know that what I am teaching is what the students and my supervisor expects and it is "right." But I don't always get treated with that reassurance. So I have to continue to seek answers on my own, problem-solve when I'm stuck, and use critical thinking skills to evaluate my performance when there isn't a "teacher" there to do it for me.
Just don't give up on it all!
