James, I think this is true. We all have a certain perception of ourselves, but we might modify some of our actions, behavior, or presentation if we could see ourselves through the lens of our students and others. Friendly critiques by our instructor colleagues might be one way to do this, at least partially. I suppose videotaping ourselves and watching the result might be another way. In the latter, we understand we are our own worst critics and maybe we would be inclined to change things more by our own standards. Barry Westling
