When teaching a more complicated subject, Faruk will, in a very deliberate manner, first provide instruction on the smallest, most elementary part of a concept. After he ensures that the class has mastered this, he builds on it in an effective manner, rarely overwhelming anyone with the size of the next step/part.”
