Those students are usually amazing in terms of good will (much stronger than most Western students).
The first time I lectured at the ASP school was a complicated experience for me. I was supposed to provide an introduction to quantum mechanics, special relativity, gauge theories and quantum field theory. On slide 1, I have a question about the Greek letters (one of the student didn't know what the letter 'mu' was). Then later on, another student started to ask a lot of very deep question on quantum disentanglement.
Such a gap in levels makes teaching really tough!
That's a great observation. I had the same issue. For my case, I consciously decided to teach to the upper-middle level students to maximize the utility of the class. Hard to do a side-by-side test, but it felt right.
I am sure those issues will be alleviated with time. It is just hard at the time of the "investment", i.e. now :)
Are you still there?
That is true. All good things take time.
Actually, we had to leave several months back. I wrote a post about it here.
Oh I missed that post (I was quite away during the last 10 days). I will read it later today!
