I have incorporated more chairside procedures and more hands on work in the labs and this has been helpful in keeping their attention.

One of the things that I have learned in education is that students have different styles of learning. Some students seem uninterested but yet when it comes to tests they score well. Other students that seem interested they may do poorly on tests. Each ethnic group learns differently as well. Some students it may be a language barrier as well.

In my classes I am doing more interaction with the students and this is leading to more group discussions. The students are becoming more engaged and want to learn about the new methods in dentistry and that is exciting.
