That depends. Do you just want to teach the material? For some people the cultural thing is so strong they won't ask questions because it may imply that you're a bad teacher and offend you. You have to at least address it that much or you're not going to be able to teach the material effectively.
- SilasX 4y agoI don't feel like that's a show-stopper. With some work, preferably in the first two lectures, you could train them out of the habit, perhaps by reframing it in a way that doesn't offend their habits e.g. ask them to say, "I have solved your challenge" rather than "this is wrong/a lie" which they have a revulsion to.
- malfist 4y agoYou think a professor can "train them out of the habit" in two lectures that a life time of cultural habitation built?
- SilasX 4y agoNo, I think it’s possible he may he have to resort to reframing tricks that have the same functional outcome, which is why I suggested them in the other part of that sentence.
