How to Be a Good Teacher Is an Undecidable Problem
Flapan, Erica
College Mathematics Journal, v42 n5 p350-354 Nov 2011
In this article, I describe my attempts to use various pedagogical techniques to teach college level mathematics and the particular problems that I ran into with each. Then I explain how I reached the conclusion that there is no best pedagogical approach. Rather each person's teaching methods should fit their personality, their mathematical preferences, and the needs and goals of their courses and their students.
