More is not Better
Practice and Feedback are Crucial !
“Practice is the most important ingredient
of effective instruction;
it speeds up learning,
aids long-term retention,
and facilitates recall.”- Barbara Seels (1997)

To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination.
It means to know where you are going so that you better understand where you are now so that the steps you take are always in the
right direction.
- Stephen R. Covey, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
