I have a problem with understanding my maths teacher at uni, his style is somewhat rambling and he completely ignores the basics - which is frustrating as i know much of the advanced stuff having used it in my previous studies and at work but i havent done the basic stuff since GCSE maths about a decade ago - anyhoo i find it very difficult to follow and have been struggling with the exams and homework problems so i decided to try some online tutorials to see if i could figure anything out- half an hour later and i feel immensely more confident about the subject, mostly because if there is something i didnt get or couldnt follow as i was writing it down i can pause, jump back and re-play it, or pause, and look it up in book/google
is it time some of these teaching methods were reviewed? i think i would benefit much more from perhaps 1-2 hours of Q&A after doing online tutorials (which are provided for free even to other universities as long as credit is given where it is due) per week rather than the gruelling 3-4 hour sessions i have to put up with now (and usually we have a weekly test at the end)
my brain simply doesnt function when i have 7-8 hours of intensive studying and then a 3 hour exam at the end of it
