Microcomm's founder started his teaching career not in the hallowed halls of academia, but rather in industry, as Senior Engineering Instructor for a major aerospace company. In the three decades since, he has had the opportunity to teach at a variety of institutions, from community colleges to prestigious research universities. One thing he has learned is that anyone, regardless of past training or formal education, can learn high-tech, and become a productive member of a technical team. Our training programs, both online and in-house, emphasize that:
it doesn't take a rocket scientist
the goal is not adequacy, but mastery
everyone has his or her own learning style
no one teaching modality is right for everybody
we learn best through sight, sound, taste, and touch (and sometimes smell)
sometimes you've got to get your hands dirty
practical skills are best learned by doing
the most important teaching tools are repetition, repetition, and repetition
you learn more from failure than you do from success
you can't learn without trying
if the student hasn't learned, the teacher hasn't taught
you can't teach without having failed yourself
the best way to master a skill is to teach it to others
often, the most effective learning occurs student-to-student
