I think it would be fair to say that Andy Kerslake has a fairly "uncompomising" style of teaching having just done Tech 1 with him :D Very much the throw hell at you to knock you down, then plenty of calm, helpful feedback, move forward, same again etc. Very, very effective - learnt more in those four days than I would ever have imagined. Suits the man and his personality, wouldn't work for every type of student and that style of teaching really wouldn't work coming from a less authoritative figure. Its a sort of "you have to be there to understand it" type deal
Exactly how I hoped GUE instruction would be - tough, fair (well his idea of fair anyway) and making you think and work your nuts off all the time. I'm sure I'm not the only one who looks forward to his return to teaching
Example of compromise? Erm? Him graciously allowing us to do it his way at all times :D
I hear you're about to come up against a rather uncompromising cave instructor yourself
