I really like several of the suggestions for engaging students, especially the suggestion of "Special Day of the week of month". It is lighthearted and fun.
I have already implemented a Time Mangement strategy. It is a course requirement that each student complete a weekly Time Mangement Plan for studying. I will be continuing this course requirement in all my classes. I will be evaluating and revising the plan as necessary.
I just implemented the Time Mangement Plan for Studying in my three courses this term. I am still evaluating and revising the process. I review the student's plan during any Remediation sessions. So far it has been helpful for many students. There are some students who do not take it seriously. It is still a work in progress!
The key to reducing cheating is definitely to minimize opportunities for cheating.
Never dismiss the importance of interacting with a student in class or outside of class. If a student wants to talk with you, make time.
Touching base with each individual student is important. Letting them know that I am genuinely interested in their success is a key part of making sure they do succeed.
