It is so nice to have an AHA moment - but sometimes that occurs YEARS after the class in question.
That! Is REALLY the truth!
Yeah like me and Algebra. I have taken it three times and still waiting for the AH-HA moment.
I found that I could understand algebra better if I went from the specific to the general.

Example: 1 + 2 = 3 versus a + b = c
