Hi McKinley! I like your observations - sometimes a good "kick in the pants" is exactly what's needed.
Repetition has always been an effective learning strategy because it relates to so many of the learning styles - whether we see it, hear it or do it, repetitively.
Should it get boring for some students, I have often changed the repetition a bit - presenting it a little differently each time; presenting an error that needs to be addressed; having students add something relevant to the repeated concept or activity, etc.
Thanks so much for your comments!
