<p>Limitations and misconceptions seem to be the pillar of the educational community these days. My classes are on ground with an online component and keeping the student active is always a struggle for both portions. I have had students in class wanting me to lecture (talk at them) for hours but when you ask them questions they can't even tell me what I just said. My course is mostly critical thinking and when they sit for any quiz or exams the questions are not directly from the lecture but they have to critically think in order to answer. I am a content expert so story telling, case studies and games like jeopardy are a few things I do to keep them engaged. These strategies forces the student to be accountable in their learning process. I have also found that being direct and letting the students know what the expectations are for the course from the start I find keeps them on tract.</p>
