Instructor Jacob Kovel holds many titles: Ph.D., professional engineer, lieutenant colonel, associate professor of manufacturing and construction management. But to his CCSU students, sometimes he's a benevolent drill sergeant firmly guiding them with a golden teaching principle: Practice, Practice, Practice. Rigorous thinking and re-thinking is part of the drill, because, he believes, acquiring or perfecting skills rarely happens the first time around. "I hate to lecture," he laughs easily. "I like to ask questions and have students answer out loud, because they remember better when actively involved in learning. My role is to introduce new concepts and to facilitate the absorption of ideas through discussion and practical exercises."
