I thus do my best to guide my students thinking processes, rather than tell them the answers. I spend...

From simple courtesies like holding the door for someone with hands full of grocery bags,...

...I am often able to highlight the important points the student should practice and come up with problems on the spot to aid their understanding. 3) The last step is to observe how well they deal with practice. Do they learn better by doing similar problems over and over again? Or should I keep reminding them of similar mistakes in later practice problems? How often should I provide the solution? These are important questions I...
