Inspiring young minds today, getting great leaders tomorrow. My style of teaching depends on how the student learns. From my experiences teaching at CSU, most people learn from concrete explanations and examples. But, there are a few who learn verbally and/or by consistently writing.

...help breakdown complex concepts and tie them to more easily digestible ideas. Reading the material and conceptually understanding is just the first step in being able to apply theory. I have found that there is no good substitute to working through problems and to learn by doing them. Even if you don't get the correct answer the first time, reworking them will deepen that groove of understanding. Then each time the topic comes up a...
