Do you agree that the best way to prove one knows what they say they know is to get another person to learn?

Question

I need to write several essays for experiential credit towards my college degree. I have many years of work experience, but I have not read many books. I find I learn best by getting my hands dirty and just jumping in and asking questions... I use the book, owners manual, instructions as a last resort.

So as part of my preparation for the interview that will follow the submission of my credit by evaluation essays, I vollunteered to teach a series of workshops on some of the topics I have learned through my work experience. Do you think that sending the course evaluations as part of my portfolio will help to prove that I know what I know?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. What if your course evaluations are poor? Not only that not everyone can teach. They may know a great deal of information on any given subject, yet not be able to explain it in a manner others can understand.
