Oh my god you guys signing up for teaching Survey of European Literature is my biggest mistake I've made over here.
I don't know how to teach this shit
I'm trained for teaching EFL, English as a Foreign Language, not a content course
I know the information, but I don't know how to teach it
I don't know how to distill it
I don't know how to turn it into a course students can learn from
how the fuck do I explain any of this? how do I tell what happened, when it happened? How to do I encompass how fucking complicated European History is? those philosophies over time? And how do I talk about the showing of those philoisophies in literature
god I am kicking myself in the fucking HEAD for saying yes to this class
I like the lit. Ihave no idea how to teach it.
I am a week away from the class, and I can't back out now.
but
I

no
idea
how
to
do
this
oh god fuck
oh shit son,
apprehension,
china argh,
