Re: [quizbowl] re: ICT Comments

I agree that writing questions helps to make you a
better player, and gives some valuable insight into
how an outsider to the field.  I for one hate writing
econ questions, knowing nothing about it.  Of course,
experts also add valuable views about what's obscure
to experts in the field and what's not.  Might I
suggest this strategy- if you're not an expert, run it
by someone who is.  Even if they're not on the team, a
dormmate could probably tell you what's common
knowledge in the field and what's not.  Chances are if
you're an expert, you have a good sense of what's
common knowledge and what you've learned to be less
well-known, though the same strategy of running the
question or clues by another person of a different
level could still apply.  Of course, when you're
writing the packet the day before it's due...
