In conducting classes, too, had its own trick. At the beginning of the lesson, the teacher announces a list of topics. Before starting the theory, he shows the text of the homework and conducts a survey of how many students understood him. Usually 1-5 people are ready to go right away. After the lesson, the teacher repeats the survey and by its results you can understand how well the lesson went. The approach significantly improves concentration: when students hear key words or definitions from homework in a lecture, they understand that they need to focus on this moment.OTUS: Are there any other features in building the lessons?

The very first group was very strong. Students asked a lot, and we discussed a lot - very similar to the Platonic Academy, where there was no familiar vertical student-teacher, and people with different backgrounds came to share knowledge and make joint discoveries. As a result, three students from the first launch returned to us as teachers. To one of them, Sergei Petrelevich, I handed over the course guidance.
