I am thinking that I should give extra credit more as a tool for work that is outside and additional to the required work and not because they did an exemplary job.

Pre-Testing

I think this helps those students who may have had a tough time with the reading portion of the class and tees up the material that I present.

Powerpoint by Death

I try to never use the powerpoint slides from the publisher, they are totally disconnecting from the way I use adult learning principles in he class. I did like the way that the Harvard faculty use the whiteboard and I am a big fan of flipcharts to recognize students comments.

understanding your strengths

There are several assessment tools to assist the instructor in understanding what they do best with groups of peoples...my school uses Insights. I have taken and am certified in MBTI, DISC, and a host of others. This type of activity would be best served in an all faculty meeting

Building Rapport

One way I do that is to talk about a contemporary problem that is in the news...it gets the student to think about what they hear in the news and it also keeps me in tune with their mindset as I go forward.

Cheating students

Objective tests tend to increase the chances of this happening. I try to use short answer and an example in my quizzes and tests

essay tests and short answer.

I have found that a short answer quiz each week allows the business student with some factual content. At Mid-term and at the final I use an essay format to expand their thoughts after a series of short answer quizzes.
