Theory vs. Labs: Which One Do You Never Skip?

Michael Schmitz
Gregory Childers said:
I cover the theory in class, sprinkling in a few demonstrations when possible. I assign the labs as homework.
Click to expand...
Same for me. Labs can be done in selflearning mode more often. Asking me questions is then not possible. Also my audience has different interesstes in what labs they wanna do, so they focus on the ones that are interessting for them. Not what i say they should do..

Theory vs. Labs: Which One Do You Never Skip?

mohammed khati said:
I just noticed how every trainer has a different ‘teaching style’ when delivering A+ or Network+. Some go deep into theory, others focus on troubleshooting labs. If you had to pick, what’s the one thing you never skip in your training sessions?
Click to expand...
Combination of both. Theory based upon class type. Are they complete newbs or experienced? That will drive how I teach the class. I really don't think there is a one size fits all for everyone. The 1st day of class for me is always where I gauge how deep I got into topics versus question, answer and theory.
