I have found that most of the time, but not always that the students understand,retain and enjoy the daily production using the cook along method as opposed to a sraight demonstration. In a cook along the students all start at the same time and finish at the same time. no one is left behind and no one gets ahead. because I try to explain things in great detail and at a pace that the majority can follow. More often that not all but perhaps a few are always on pace and it is very easy to get anyone lagging caught up. The students also feel more confident in their finished product because they mimick the way my product looks,tastes, feels, etc. in real time.
