[Edu-sig] Dijkstra on teaching

[Arthur]

Some Dijkstra quotations on the subject of teaching are found at:

I of course interpret them to find support for my own prejudices.

On technology in the classroom:

"One of my foreign colleagues gives classes on the esthetics of programming.
I advised him to throw away the overhead projector and return to the
blackboard. It made him find again the joy of teaching".
