But if you can recall common questions asked by lower-level students - or problems you yourself struggled with in the past, even if you later solved them - then by all means ask them... And then let your experience in assisting others and yourself guide those answering. | |
| Mar 12, 2012 at 22:30 | comment | added | Raphael | You are right, in a way. However, how can you how hard something is for us? It becomes hard to see what are good elementary questions after some time. I have been struggling with this during my TA sessions during the last year, too. Once the material is in the obvious-part of my brain it is hard to get an objective measurement of hardness. Also, I definitely feel stupid asking a question I know the answer to; it is kind of unfair towards the answerers. Should we deliberately do this, i.e. seed the beta with fake questions? | |
| Mar 12, 2012 at 20:54 | comment | added | Patrick87 | @Raphael and Alex: Frankly, I feel like your problem isn't so much one of not being able to come up with good elementary questions, but one of being too proud to ask a question, without any intention of answering it, to which you might already know the answer. If your goal is to contribute to the healthy growth of the beta, ask good elementary questions and provide good answers to hard questions. And "elementary" isn't black and white: make a game of asking questions and seeing if anybody here can provide a good answer. | |
| Mar 11, 2012 at 22:33 | comment | added | Raphael | I have similar problems as you do, Alex. I guess we will have to waitfor (or rather work towards) public beta. | |
| Mar 11, 2012 at 20:07 | comment | added | Kaveh | to get into public beta we need more questions to get (at least 5 I think) users who will have enough reputation to vote to close questions (+500?). | |
