...taught. In this way, the student does not just memorize facts and formulas, but learns how to navigate a topic confidently and gracefully. This method of teaching lends itself well to Physics. Memorizing a formula will only help you solve a few problems, but understanding the physics behind a certain phenomenon can help you realize the solution method to a wide range of problems. I enjoy helping students form this kind of understanding. When offered...
