Activity
I have found that if I see a student has poor attendance this in itself will lead to failure. I try to e-mail, and/or call the student . This personal touch has prevented a possible drop-out from happening.
I have been writting my own exams, rather than using textbook standard testing. I find by doing this it gives me a better understanding of how the students are using the information given during lecture.
Using humor can be effective in the classroom to help students relax. Be careful not to let it get out of hand where you lose control over the classroom:
@LeeAnn : Sometimes it is difficult to keep students motivated , especially when the course is gen.ed. and the instructor has to find a way to make the course exciting and meaningful.
Engaging students is at times very difficult. Especially when the informations given is more memorization than not. Using theABC go fish activity will be of great hel[p to make things more interesting.:
