            Joe’s Insights From 15 Years Teaching:
             Joe’s Insights From 15 Years Teaching:
         Ninety percent of students think 
         that they are above average.
         Best advice I ever got on teaching:
           “Trust the class.”
         “We have a cup of knowledge 
         floating in a sea of emotion.”                   -- 
         John Dewey
