What makes my desire "work" in my classroom is my students' trust in me. Just as I faced my fear as a student in the Electronic Culture course last fall, both in terms of the anxiety such an untraditional approach which emphasized a state of non-understanding as "normal" provoked, and in terms of the personal demons I faced when working with the figure of Ted Bundy, my students have had to face their anxiety spawned by being given "freedom" to not understand and to figure things out themselves in the classroom.
