It's a little trite but the best thing college taught me was how to read critically and teach myself as needed. The second best thing was providing plentiful examples of good pedagogy (I went to a teaching college, not a research U.) which turned into models for how I try to mentor. others comments about the difference between school work and real work are spot-on. It's funny how much I hated group projects as an undergrad, but how in some ways they were the best preparation: How do you still get things done when everyone has different ideas, varying levels of competency, available time, and motivation?
