Teaching Interests
Mastering a subject is a matter of building one's knowledge through internalizing basic concepts, connecting them and expanding on them. (Beware of shortcuts.) While one may be able to leapfrog over some basic principles into more advanced areas, skipping the fundamentals will likely cause problems later.
