-  * the notion that 'old', 'older', or 'different', especially in terms of technology, is somehow bad (there are plenty of useful things to learn, for the patterns will often remanifest in future technologies down the road)+  * the notion that 'old', 'unpopular', 'uncomfortable', or 'different', especially in terms of technology or experiences, is somehow bad (there are plenty of useful things to learn, for the patterns will often remanifest in future technologies down the road)
   * apologizing: "sorry I had to ask a question", "sorry I misunderstood", "sorry I failed to do that action"; I WANT people to ask questions. Questions are based on not fully understanding something. And if your actions come up short, apologies only serve to highlight the deficiency. The best solution: to fix it and not keep repeating the same mistake. There may be things worthy of apologizing for. For most incidents of apology I encounter related to classes, such is irrelevant. If you feel you are in the wrong for asking a question, you're doing this whole learning thing wrong.   * apologizing: "sorry I had to ask a question", "sorry I misunderstood", "sorry I failed to do that action"; I WANT people to ask questions.

   * overhelping "the weakest link"; a somewhat modern trend, where I see woefully unprepared/unready individuals overly assisted through the course (where the intent is to save them from failing). This is but a short-term perspective, contributing to their long-term failure.   * overhelping "the weakest link"; a somewhat modern trend, where I see woefully unprepared/unready individuals overly assisted through the course (where the intent is to save them from failing).

   * the obsession over and recitation of hardware specs-- this has nothing to do with computing, yet many mistakenly believe it to be such (a small aspect of IT and an occasionally fun hobby? sure.)   * the obsession over and recitation of hardware specs-- this has nothing to do with computing, yet many mistakenly believe it to be such (a small aspect of IT and an occasionally fun hobby? sure.)
   * the compensation for lack of knowledge by clinging tightly to (perceived) known knowledge-- I expect everyone not to know things; knowing we don't know enables us to learn.   * the compensation for lack of knowledge by clinging tightly to (perceived) known knowledge-- I expect everyone not to know things; knowing we don't know enables us to learn.

   * the absolute belief that if I say something then it is the truth (same for the inverse, converse, contrapositive, etc.)-- being open-minded and questioning is one of the greatest abilities we can have. Society trains you to be compliant with external authority at the expense of your own; to be educated and intelligent, in part, means you have cultivated your own self-authority so you can make your own decisions.   * the absolute belief that if I say something then it is the truth (same for the inverse, converse, contrapositive, etc.)-- being open-minded and questioning is one of the greatest abilities we can have.
