If you think of every single person you meet as someone that can teach you something then be greedy and soak it up.

I meet a lot of people. Some challenge my pride or authority. It happened in class just the other day. My comment was: “You may have gotten that dig in, but that is it” or something similar.

Something similar happened in my last CIS 407 class. We have a few students in there that are challenging, but man are they smart and exciting. In this case I made a comment about how C# is great. Yes it is! but who hates vb.net – several of the students in question had reasons why they disliked vb.net. Sure.

As the class went on I ended up in vb.net and needed to convert some types. It took a bit to remember how to do it. Comments were made. And we moved on.

The point is. I have the opportunity to learn from many students over the years and I have. I have student right now that challenge me in almost every class. I take it to heart and it has made me a better teacher today and over the past 8 years.

Do you learn something from everyone you meet? Lets talk about it some more.

You can learn what NOT to do. You can learn what to do. You can learn a skill such as programming or how to handle a situation. You can also learn how NOT to handle a situation. Swallow your pride and learn what you can from everyone you meet. Dont judge anyone, but dont accept their habits either.

You might have noticed I stopped signing emails with Prof. Huber. My name is Jason

If I can see their desktop and they can see mine, then it is easier to help in programming situations. I like webex, but it costs $. In PC Mag I saw this:
