Thanks, Maria. Teaching demos are a good way to at least get a feel for how someone might perform in front of a class. I have employed a few introverted faculty members who were still very good teachers. I found they were more effective teaching students who had been with us a while.

Thanks, Joy. The technique you describe (notebook) is one that is often suggested for folks who cannot sleep becasue they are thinking about work. The notebook on the nightstand allows folks to write down things they want to remember. They can then forget about them and go to sleep knowing they will be able to work on the problem the next day.
