One of the stresses that I have experienced have ocurred when students fail to apply the basic techniques and skills they learned from previous classes. Even when I review and demonstrate the techniques and skills again for them, they tend to forget what was just covered.

In my classes I always try to use examples to get my points across. I use own experiences in the workplace to share with my students. I also try to use analogies so that they can use them to relate to the points being taught. It is really amazing how much these things work and make the students understand what you are trying to emphasize.
