Study Guides or No Study Guides

I am a fan of study guides too! I have designed mine like you have. They have to work for the answers, nothing is handed to them. I find it to be just one more source to prepare for their test. Also, I inform the students that the test will not just be from that guide. I am opposed to having all test questions on the guide. I think they need to review all notes, text book, etc.

Motivating Students

I have found that using creative ways to present the material helps. I sometimes use curriculum related games to review the information. At times it may seem elementary but is a change in the traditional ways.

Creative Teaching

I am always trying to find new and creative ways to present material to my students. I have developed several interactive games for my course. I have found that the studetns enjoy getting the material in a nontraditional way. I hope this is helpful!!

Handling Classroom Cheating

I have also used different test versions. This has been a great way to keep "wandering eyes" out of my classroom! It makes for a little more work on the teacher's part but it is worth it!!!!!
