I believe that we learn best with a hands-on and application-based approach. In a typical class, I like to introduce a small project that covers all the concepts that we want to cover in that session, and students can follow along and complete it with me by the end of the session. This helps students to not only understand and remember concepts, and also helps them to build a portfolio.
