Combining Methods of Learning
I find that requiring a combination of methods for both project based deliverables from the students along with combining my delivery methods really helps reach everyone AND also exposed students to a variety of ways to engage in the material.
This is my preferred method of conducting my courses.
For example, I will hold a topic discussion after speaking directly about it including some visuals that spark conversation and feedback. For the student work, I will require something visual with something written (wometimes formal, sometimes more informal), and also have them prepare to verbally discuss their work to the group.
This provides everyone the chance to excel, learn and be exposed to basic requirements of any field they are preparing for.
Hi Dana- Thanks for your post to the forum. You are doing a terrific job at preparing your students to be able to apply the knowledge and skills that they have learned with you into the workplace.! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
I do a similar teaching style to engage all students. It is important to have that discussion at the end of the lecture to ensure the students are understanding the content
