Great article, thanks for sharing, as a recovering high school teacher (5 years ago I moved into tech after reaching full burn out in education) I must admit that I fantasised about teaching at the higher education level thinking that a minimal amount of student buy-in was what was needed to have a fulfilling experience teaching. But it's interesting see that in your class, students who wanted to be there still struggle to engage in a meaningful way for the most part.
For me, the most difficult part of teaching was dealing with the broken feedback loops. It’s challenging to gauge your own progress and performance as a teacher and to identify which areas need improvement and what is actually working.
