I am amazed that I was taking this course at the same time a particular issue arrived in my class. A student yelled out in class that I was going to fast for him. He rarely comes to class and is behind on his subject matter, etc. Although he was embarrassed, I felt immediate feedback was justified. I asked him to step outside the room, so that I could speak with privately. I not only corrected the out burst, but I also addressed the future issues concerned with class attendance and class/homework. He was receptive.
Then after class, another student asked to speak with me privately. She explained that she ADHD and was having difficulty maintaining the pace. She is a very good student..works hard with perfect attendance.
Then, I realized that I needed to make some adjustments to the time that I spend on certain areas. Although one feedback was good and one was bad, the fact was I needed to slow down with this group.
