THATS what i think too!. Im in 2d grade of engineering, and i thanks all
the hours we spent doing the courses and factorizing by hand, THATS no
other way to learn how important is to factor. It seems to be "if you do
not suffer it, you wont learn it". By the way, i hope your students enjoy
it, thats where the real teacher comes to light. You should show them the
nice side, and they wont forget it anymore.
