Are there any other instructors out there that find they have to create their own tests because the ones supplied by the text books are not well written/test on subject taught?
I teach classes that only go for 6 weeks, how often should I use CATS?
I have a student who asks too many questions-and not in a good way. I am starting to think she does this to manipulate and control the class. Any suggestions on how to trim the questions down?

sometimes it can be hard to teach to different students' learning styles when you are teaching a particular subject that may require more "hands on" learning.

I have a very small class of just 7 students.  4 of the students do not get along well with each other.  It is my opinion that their personalities are just a little different.  I would like to know what I can do as their teacher to encourage better relations in the classroom.  There have been physical fights that have broken out, and this leaves me very discouraged as an instructor.

This couse gave me some new ideas for keeping myself and my students motivated.  It was also helpful on how to deal with students who cause distractions by talking too much, contributing too much to the lesson.

 

I agree, it dealt with many issues I face everyday in my classroom.

sometimes I only want to care as much as my students care...

how do you deal with teacher burnout? After a while it gets hard to keep everyone motivated
I have a few senior citizens in my class, and I have noticed they are having special trouble remembering the material. Any suggestions for helping them retain information without seeming like I am being disrespectful to them/
