RUAC and REEPIR

Sorry, BoDEAN. I wasn't going to repeat myself here, but with 172Driver's mention of RUAC, I couldn't resist. It is my favorite CFI mnemonic.
learn principles by Rote so you can avoid Understanding, Applying or Correlating them in any way.
I agree with BobbySamD (BTW, are you in Denver or is the Broncos logo for some other reason?)
I guess that's one of the universal FOI mnemonics. Also,
REEPIR, to remember the laws of learning. Something like:
Readiness (number 1, in my $0.02 - know it!)
Effect (learning being better if pleasurable)
Exercise (repetition and practice - 3 reps max per flight)
Primacy (number 1A - learn it right the first time - soo true!)
Intensity (e.g. an intense learning experience being better remembered, e.g., using a visual aid instead of just a verbal description)
Recency (last thing learned - first thing remembered)
Another good one is Maslow's Pyramid of Needs, which is in the next chapter (you might know it as Hierarchy of Needs from Psych 101). Characteristics of a good test and instructor professionalism, which are several chapters later. Visual aids. There may be something about classroom lecturing and the various kinds of questions, e.g. relay, overhead, oversize, etc.
Lesson plans!!!
FYI, I heard that retired AF colonels who went to work for the FAA authored the FOI, which would account for the similarity to Kaman's Navy instructor training.
Yes, I am in Denver and a 40-year Bronco fan, delighted to see Oakland lose the way they did on Sunday.
PS-I edited REEPIR after looking it up in my FOI. I'm getting the benefit again after having to research it!
