One possible version:
Whether(or not)I would prefer a lesson to be presented in an entertaining,enjoyable fashion depends on two things:(1)my familiarity with the subject matter.and(2)what precisely is meant by“entertaining”or“enjoyable”.
One way of making the subject matter less daunting is to simplify it,perhaps by leaving the more complicated parts out.This approach is perhaps appropriate when a new subject is being introduced.Afar all,the basics are often the hardest part of a subject to learn,therefore it is important that they be taught in all accessible.non.threatening manner.Advanced students,how—ever,may grow impatient at a superficial treatment,and will appreciate a more scholarly approach.
Another way of making a subject more approachable is to make the presentation clearer.Such a step is desirable for beginners and advanced students alike.Genius lies in simplifying a subject,not in making it needlessly difficult.
A third way of making learning a given subject enjoyable is to approach it from a novel.creative perspective.Advanced students will profit from l00—king at old,familiar concepts in a new light.Beginners,however,would probably do better to study the material in the time-tested.conventional manner.In order to challenge tradition,one must first understand it.
In summary,let me give my tentative for informality under the conditions outlined above.Let it be noted,however,that if a lesson is relevant and enlightening,it will usually command the student’s attention regardless of the teaching style.On the other hand.if the lesson is irrelevant or insubstantial,then no amount of gimmickry can save it.
