What's Great Teaching

I believe good teaching is very much a personal opinion. Everyone has their own ideas and ways that enhance their ability or experience while being taught. Some would say that tons of homework forces them to study which in return gets them to learn more. Others would say that they learn from their mistakes from multiple quizzes before actually taking the test. I personally believe that a good teacher can find the correct way to explain something that every student can understand. If not, find different ways to explain to students who might of not understood the first way taught. I learn the best when I see the big picture. When a teacher understands that and she can relate his/her teachings in that form, I see that as great teaching. I've had many teachers that have only one way of explaining a problem or situation that I just can't wrap my brain around. I don't believe it is because I'm dumb or just bad at a certain subject. All it takes for me to understand is a good explanation that gets my thought process kicking.
