    WOW...Absolutely loved your method of teaching. I am a visual learner, not many people truly understand the issues that come with visual learner. We process information in 3 stages: we hear it, now we have to repeat it to our selves so we can visualize to what we can refer to, so we can truly understand it. Example, what normally would take a person to read and get it, it would take us double the time. I have a masters degree in Forensic Psychology so it is not to say I or others like me won't succeed, but teachers like you makes it so much easier. THANK YOU
