Hi,

We ask instructor trainees to create and critique short videos of themselves teaching (both stand-up and live coding). To prepare them for this, I would like to record a 90-second video of myself teaching; to ensure it's useful, I'd like to give viewers stuff to critique. So: what mistakes would you like the video to include in both content and presentation? Things I've already thought of are:

* too much jargon

* ideas presented out of order

* lots of 'um' and 'er' (or using the word 'like' in every third breath, which is almost as bad as someone cracking their knuckles behind you during a thermodynamics exam when you're stuck on question 3, which has /nothing at all/ to do with the course material)

Please let me know what else you'd like to see by adding comments to https://github.com/swcarpentry/website/issues/343 (rather than replying directly to this list). I can't possibly live up to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQjgsQ5G8ug&feature=youtu.be&t=35, but I'll give it my best shot...

Thanks,
Greg
