Chapter 7: Teaching Difficult Academic Material

All subjects have difficult areas that students have a hard time learning. However, in this chapter, students give examples of good and bad ways to gain understanding from students over this difficult material.

I found it interesting that in the math section students see a difference between drills and practice. They want the practice problems to be relevant and not simply repetitive drills. I will have to take this into consideration when I assign homework.
