I'm teaching class this week. The class that I'm teaching has been taught many times by many people and is very refined. I have a teacher's edition of the book, which is an awesome crutch!
My past classes that I've taught have been a little less refined. The most I had was instructor notes that I inherited from another instructor with my updates.
I'm having to do little prep-work because every page, every exercise, every slide is spelled out to me. Surprisingly, it's given me more freedom. I find myself less concerned about knowing what to say next, and I have more time to devote to the students' questions and class discussion.
Lesson learned: Winging it is easier when you have a solid plan.
