This course reinforced that the methods I have used with difficult students has been most appropriate. I am glad that my strategies were effective as they did prove so in outcome and result. I did learn that I need to pay more attention to those silent students and incorporate them more in class discussion without singling them out. Teaching Sociology, the course is very discussion based and not all students are comfortable participating. I learn about the student at the end through the personal perspective paper which is required for them to write for the course. I will try these methods using the panel and group presenttation which I have never used before. Hopefully the silent students will no longer be considered as such in future classes.
