1. After reading Chapter 1 of the Wilkinson textbook, who would you say was the best teacher you ever had? What 3 main characteristics made that person your favorite? How important was his/her commitment to “cause you to learn”? What do you think would have happened if he/she had lost that commitment?
There have been many people in my life that have taught me many things. But the one person that stands out the most is my great-aunt. As a young child, she took me into her household and treated me as one of her own children. She had five biological children and I was very close to her oldest son.

On a scale of 1-10, I think that I would be a 3 at best. My main short coming is the lack of time that I have to devote to study and application of my lessons. I could move closer to a 10 by praying diligently for an “applier’s heart” and by becoming more sensitive to the Holy Spirit and applying these to my own life. I need to increase my study time and prayer life.
5. After reading Chapter 8 of the Wilkinson textbook, discuss the following question. Step 2 of the Retention Method occurs when the teacher boils down the content to the minimum. Why do you think so few teachers take this step? What is the difference between content being covered and content being
