Sometimes during the time off from researching, writing, and editing, I take some time to edit my syllabi and/or create new ones for potential courses I would be interested in teaching. I suppose as a recent PhD grad some might say I am wasting time, but I have found it very helpful to think about the kind of classes I would like to teach, what books would be assigned, what kinds of readings/assignments, etc. This also gets me into the know with recent scholarship on said topic and possibly certain questions I would like to pursue on this topic for myself at a later time.
I currently have in my folder around six/seven courses that I would be interested in teaching (courses like "Exegesis of ____" or "Intro to NT" doesn't count, as that would be a given in my field).
If any of you guys are out there reading this, if you were given free rein, what would you teach? And why?
