I think that this class gave me some insight into the concerns of teaching to students with specialized needs.  When you take this into consideration with different learning styles, the class has to have a more fluid approach.  The communication between the student and the teacher becomes critical.  I let my students know that if they need accommodations to see me in private.  My schools policy is it must be documented otherwise the only thing I can do is approach the class with different teaching styles and tutorials. 

I have  2 questions about taping lectures.  Could this violate the right of privacy… >>>

I wish I had this course a litte sooner in my career developement.  I learned much of this information by trial and error.  It is well organized and thought out.  I hope other get as much as I did from it.  It reinforced a lot of ideas I currently am using.

Couse was informative.  I understand the comments to keep up confidence levels and other criteria.  I guess I thought the retention isses were big issues.  Working for a for profit scohol, getting students through the program and keeping the class retention high can be a challenge.

This course was very interesting.  As a new teacher, I have been using the test banks from the book companies.  Many times they have been adiquate, however, one book I am using seems to be a nightkmare.  I am looking forward to revamping thier material into more readable questions and getting more feed back from students.
