Abstract

Education is difficult. Most teachers and instructors would agree that while teaching is a very rewarding activity, it is also a very difficult one.It is difficult because teaching is largely an art. There is a lot of advice on teaching, but this advice is usually informal and thus, not easy to follow. Students are different. Whatever worked for one group of students may not work for another group. Students have different preparation level, different motivations, different skills, different attitudes, different relations to other students in the class.
