As an undergraduate and in graduate school, my best experiences have been those where respect was shown to me as a student.

Only then did I come to understand that taking a programmed approach to students was not the key...

...is in a safe and nurturing environment. We learn through doing, through mistakes, through trying things a few different ways. Conventional teaching methods don't always allow this level of individualization. We learn and remember the most when we're actively engaged, enjoying what we're learning, having fun, and making meaningful connections. Learning is not simply memorization, it is being firmly rooted in the knowledge where you yourself could explain it to someone else.
