I had the priveledge of training for my private with an instructor
who believed in spins during training, not just so you knew how to
get out of them, but to demonstrate the concept of 'reverse command'.

He taught two ways to enter a spin; the first was the climb, stall, 
chop power, and stomp on rudder method.  The second method was the
same up to the point of stall, but just before the stall, the yoke
was turned completely to the right.   The effect of this was that
the left wing stalled early, while the right wing kept flying.  The
drop into a spin was quite dramatic even with minimal left rudder.

In that particular airplane, another student had been too eager in his
spin recovery, and when he shoved the stick forward, a full can of oil
that had been left sitting behind the seats (dumb!) shot up and smashed
through the rear window (penzoil from heaven!).
