Instructing isn't about proving how intelligent you are to the student. It's about getting sometimes tough, always foreign, concepts into the students' brains at a level they understand and can build on. |
Gotta go with TGrayson on this. In fact, to put it in a bit harsher way (yes, I know it might sound mean), but the truth is that, for the most part, the student is only limited by the limitations of the instructor. That's the way I always approached it when I was teaching, and I never had any trouble with students understanding, what seem to be, difficult concepts. Yes, I do agree, it's a lot more work for the instructor!
