I also love...

I ask for lots of feedback from students to determine what they feel is working and what isn't in our sessions. I think the best way to learn is through practice. I typically use class time to present a lesson plan, practice problems on the lesson, and talk through the solutions to determine...

...Houseman, as Professor Kingsfield. I always thought that portrayal, in terms of teaching style, was something I admired, and I used that memory as a guide, as I strived to develop my style. However, where he was strict, I am not. I believe in relaxing some restrictions to meet the needs of my students, so long as I maintain fairness.
