Troubleshooting¶
No matter how well you prepare, there will always be situations that disrupt your plan. Exceptional situations are inevitable, but they do not have to crash your lesson. Like a well-built software has a way to deal with its own errors, you should have your own set of emergency procedures. The following chapters describe a few such emergency procedures for the most common situations.
- How to teach with little time to prepare?

- How to wake up your class?
- How to teach in an unfamiliar place?
- How to teach a subject you know little about?
