I’m considering becoming a English literature lecturer, specifically focusing on the periods 1500-1700 reformation to restoration.
What qualities/knowledge do you expect of a high quality teacher?

Angela White is published author in several academic journals and thus intellectually mogs every pseud on this board
I don’t find her particularly attractive honestly
She does everything: triple Black person anal, troony gangbang, orgasming with 4 inch chink dick. Her PhD thesis was a high profile talking point among Australian intelligentsia.
Why are you making shit up?
Am I?
(you)
Can you just learn to use Google? https://www.routledgehandbooks.com/doi/10.4324/9781315168302.ch37
Her Wikipedia clearly says that it's just a shitty undergrad. In a made-up bullshit field that nobody serious respects. From U of Melbourne which has largely become a degree mill.
>Australian intelligentsia
You had me there for a minute
While I understand where you’re coming from, when you get older it generally comes down to a simple yes or no. Would you or would you not? And I most certainly would.
>BTFO'd by one online pamphlet
What is her field of study
pornography, not joking, she just published articles about her time in the porn industry and her thoughts on porn
Hmm I might read those. I've accidently seen some clips of her on different podcasts and she is articulate at least.
female
above average looks
single or trashed up marriage
touches me / leans on me inappropriately
doesn't look away first
gets coffee/food with me
gives me books
Hey guys can you answer OP
Very high patience for the bullshit with that comes with trying to make the Socratic method work. It can be very difficult to resist the urge to just make your students watch videos and write essays on them
Wonderful choice of period, any authors from that time you particularly prefer? I'd say just don't be too mechanical about it, bring some personal joy to the material and let that show (throw in some opinions or tangential side notes that are of personal interest to you), and you'll be great. And you say lecturer so I don't know what class size that implies but if it's small enough you should try to treat students as individuals as much as possible, to be able to say "Hey [student], I think you'd really like [author]". Basically just do what you can to get away from the autistic artificial impersonality of formal education, but also don't get too unprofessional about it lol.
Yeah I would imagine it's sometimes unrewarding if you're at an undergrad level but if you're dealing with people who know what studying literature actually entails and are truly interested in it, that could be a great experience.
Amen brother
I had a pseud teacher a while back who always pushed 'dialectic' and bashed rhetoric. Dumb c**t never picked up Aristotle.

passion about the subject
dedication when it comes to planning classes
empathy and patience when you are dealing with people who don't quite get it (I don't know how you could possibly teach this)
having some way to build a "feedback" system in order to be always trying to improve things and checking if things are working (before exams)
>Culturally Catholic
>Classically trained (Greek or Latin, but also Sanskrit/Qur'anic Arabic is acceptable)
>Philiosemite
>Long and unrelated tangents
The quadratic formula of a great teacher.
If you are trying to land a job teaching this subject matter, be prepared for a very long job search, or accept that you’ll most likely teach composition. There are very few open positions for this type of work. My advice would be to get your degree in composition, and teach it using this subject matter as the focus. With that said, to be a teacher, you have to be a salesman, meaning you have to really engage your students when you’re in front of the class. There are too many things competing for their attention. I used to teach American Lit 1850-present and part of the problem too is that many things you love, they’ll think is boring and obscure, so be prepared to teach your favorite works to a dead room.
Of that period? An in depth understanding of sex trafficking and sedition laws.
