Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits.
Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little
falls into lazy habits of thinking.
-Albert Einstein
A lecture is where the notes of the professor are transferred to the notes of the student

Process of Teaching
According to research by Dr. Ken Bain, the best college teachers ask themselves the following four questions:
- What should my students be able to do intellectually, physically, or emotionally as a result of what they learn in my class?
- How can I best help and encourage them to develop those abilities and the habits of heart and mind to use them?
- How can my students and I best understand the nature, quality and progress of their learning?
- How can I evaluate my efforts to foster their learning?
Yes, but how do I deal with rude, disruptive, unmotivated students.
