Thanks for this reflection, Katy. One thing that I’ve seen colleagues modulate to try and strike this balance between over/under confidence is to be continually revamping their courses in some way and tweaking them to change the material or try out new approaches. It strikes me that this “revamp” knob might be a way to help find the balance here. I’ve found that it has worked for me too once I’ve taught a class once or twice.
