In the same way, I approach my students not as an authority figure, but rather as someone who has been in their proverbial shoes.

...not knowing how to learn. Contrary to intuitive thought, learning must be learned. Memorization of material without truly understanding concepts is not learning rather, it is a dangerous road that leads to falsehood of knowledge.

The independent determination of concepts marks the skill of learning. It must be...
