Coping with CS Workshops

There are several problems with Computer Science teachers

We know we are the smartest person in the room.

We are competitive

We have massive egos.

Over the years, I used to really stress out over teacher workshops because they would have us do stuff in groups and it would never work out very well.

So here’s how I deal with it now.  I try to contribute with the group, but if the other people shut me out, I just quit and walk away.

It’s REALLY cut down on the stress for this workshop and the previous ones.
