Three suggestions for small edit:

1. minor language edit: The last sentence of "Preparation for a class" reads "Always check with current game mechanics for any question information you find."

Is this supposed to read "questionable information" or maybe just "information" would be better?

2. Something that needs to be updated: under "additional notes" there is mention of POSes, as these aren't really used anymore, maybe create an example with Upwell-Structures?

3. Another instance where an example mentioning POSes should be updated: under "dealing with questions" mentioning moon mining: "I'll leave that for a more detailed course on POSes"."

As well as a general copy-edit (suggested by the comments above and visible on the page), I think this page should be moved to a clearer title. At the moment it's confusingly similar in title to the pages which tell you how to teach a class at EVE Uni, i.e. how to schedule, where to find your slides, &c. This page is about basic pedagogy, rather than those admin topics. I'm thinking of something like "Guide to good teaching", "Good teaching guide" or "Teaching guide" as a new title, though I'm (as always) open to suggestions and advice!

Guide to teaching classes redirects here. I think it makes sense to use that instead, though I agree that it would be best to come up with a new title that's clearly different than other pages. Salartarium (talk) 19:54, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you: glad you agree about the new title. "Guide to teaching classes" might be a better one, though I don't know about ambiguity--I'll have a think and run ideas past the other teaching officers. Uryence (talk) 13:20, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

An additional thought I've had is that if you're revamping these pages, it might be best to note that Class Date and Time on the feedback form is currently broken. I'm not sure what the timeline is on fixing that or what the best guidance is say to the class about noting it in the comments section. Salartarium (talk) 02:14, 1 February 2022 (UTC) *

Ah, thank you--that's a good suggestion! I'll make a note to say something about it in the general teaching instructions. Uryence (talk) 09:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
