Today the third of the three classes I’m teaching this semester met for the first time. It’s an upper-level course on the Gospel of John, which most people know is a longstanding interest of mine.
That’s not entirely unrelated to the fact that this is apparently “international de-lurking week.” If you are a lurker on this blog, this week you are supposed to gather up your courage and leave a comment.
How does that relate to teaching? Well, almost every class (and particularly ones with larger numbers of students) include “lurkers” who sit and listen but don’t join in. I hope that if you are a student who tends to be in this category, you’ll find the courage not just to leave a comment on a blog this week, but also to say something in class. Try it!
