Methodology

From my experience, most of the difficulties faced by students is in understanding what we are trying to achieve and why, more so than how to actually apply a method given a proper starting point. This is completely understandable in our current system, where the pressure associated with upcoming exams and evaluations often overwhelms us and inhibits our natural curiosity.

For this reason, I try hard to be patient with students and to the best of my abilities explain the context of the problem as much as possible, to give students the tools and the confidence to tackle problems on their own. I believe as well that it is almost always better to do one thing well than two things poorly.
