One of the great things about attending a LDS Church owned school is that they have a different teaching structure is different then most schools. Here at the LDSBC ( Latter-day Saint Business College) one of the main focus's is teach one another. In this way the students are more responsible for their education then at other college's or universities. As part of the schools mission statment we read:

Teach One Another: Engage in meaningful learning experiences individually and in groups to help you understand concepts and develop skills.

I would like to pose the question, Who learns more then the teacher while teaching? A student may grasp bits and pieces of what the teacher is saying, but when a teacher is prepairing the lesson and then sharing with the students what they have learned, the teacher is in more of an advantage then the students. Why? becuase they have internalized the message then they figured how to share that information. That part is crutial, the ability to be able to vocalize what you have taken in.

From one of the sciptures of the church, D&C 88:78 we learn:
78 Teach ye diligently and my agrace shall attend you, that you may be binstructed more perfectly in theory, in principle, in doctrine, in the law of the gospel, in all things that pertain unto the kingdom of God, that are expedient for you to understand;

As we teach he will have the help of the Lord, and we will have a better understing of what it is that we are supposed to learn. Now for the application, we need to teach one another the things that we learn. As we teach we learn, and as others teach us they will learn as well.
