...believe that the best way for students to learn, and it has helped me as well, is to constantly practice questions in whatever subject they may be studying.

...a textbook. In this way, I agree with William B. Yeats in that "education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."

This method works fantastically with my current students, many of whom have significant barriers to overcome beyond academics.
