Abstract
How to teach diversity of students is an often asked question. With the author\´s teaching experience and technical expertise, he has developed a teaching technique for students to learn quicker and easier. He changed the traditional "feeding" teaching technique to "motivation and stimulation" in his classroom. The majority of students appreciate the new technique. Delivery is the key factor in the teaching and learning process. Traditional way of delivering materials is "feeding the students". Under that circumstance good students are still hungry and less advanced students cannot digest. This phenomenon is quite noticeable in every environment. He has tried another delivery method, which he calls "motivating and stimulation": which is quite helpful for students to learn more material in a short period of time. In the class, the theory is introduced and examples are given. After class, students were left a long practice list, but only required to finish to the level that they feel comfortable with the material. Homework is handed in with a reasonable amount of work and they were checked. To guarantee the students do the homework, a quiz is given often. The result is significant. Most of the students who didn\´t know the material well enough did virtually all the assigned problems and mastered the material.
