--- title: Pedagogy --- I believe the best teachers always try to bring out the best in their apprentices. They make sure their feedback is valid, reasoned for as much as possible, and open for re-examination both by the teacher and the student. A good teacher, in my opinion, will let you perform in a less than ideal manner, while providing you a well-defined avenue for reflection. "What made you do this", "what do you think is happening", "when encountering X, is it because Y, or is it because Z" are good questions to ask in order to develop a rational, guided, and data-driven approach to learning.
