I always put emphasis on practice doing. As many hours as possible in the lab, as much on hands on experience as students can get. First of all, students prefer such form of learning–at least most of them do. And secondly, we are preparing them for the real challenges they will face in the workplace, once they graduate. Because in the lab they work in teams, have conflicts, face deadlines, have to handle problems, record their findings, sometimes they even have to multitask… Of course, we cannot avoid the theory altogether. But my teaching style consists in maximizing the hours students spend working on practical tasks.
