Ancient wisdom

Socrates on innovation in teaching (Xenophon, Memoirs of Socrates, 4.4):
"Of course," Hippias said, "I always try to say something new."
"Even about facts that you know? I mean, if somebody asks you how many letters there are in 'Socrates', and what they are, do you try to say something different now from what you said before? Or if somebody asked about numbers, whether twice five is ten, don't you give the same answer now as before?"

An archive of past teaching is kept here. However, not all links are guaranteed to work (e.g. to model solutions, or to College information pages).
