Kimberly, In addition, publishing companies usually offer online instructor resources that can be used in tandem with the textbook lessons. In most cases, the students are provided with access to the online content, with their purchase of the book. Tremayne Simpson

Time Management

Richele, I agree. Sometimes a well-placed discussion can assist in keeping students attentive, during a lecture. I always try to keep a few "discussion questions" available, for instances when I preceive that the class is overwhelmed or adrift. Tremayne Simpson

Selecting Course Content

Amy, In addition, students can provide great resources for the course. I generally try to create an assignment, that provides my students with the opportunity to share resources with their peers. In many cases, I adopt the resources and use them as examples for other classes. Tremayne Simpson

Identifying Student Knowledge

Amy, I agree. Since the information is highly technical, providing Socratic questioning during the lecture is essential for assess student comprehension. Application of the material can be assessed, by using a "case study" or related activity. Tremayne Simpson

Adding Instructional Resources

Richele, In my experience, I have found that it is effective to group the "younger" and "older" students together, during collaborative activities, that require the use of technology. Sometimes they overcome their "fear" of technology, when they are working with other students that are comfortable with it. Tremayne Simpson

Using the Learning Taxonomy

anthony, I feel that rubrics (or similar assessment tools) should be used in all grading situations, that may be perceived as being subjective. Rubrics can provide the students with descriptors that will inform them of the necessary detail for a desired assignment grade. In my experience, the use of rubrics limit student grade discrepancies.

Time Management

anthony, I agree, consistency in class assignments can assist with the time management approach, for the course. Interestingly, student participation in one class can directly impact a revision in the lecture, for another section. Student discussion can really assist in adding content to the course, overall.

Student Input

William, Have you tried an online survey to gather student input? Sometimes students will be more candid with their responses, when they are able to conduct a survey outside of class. Tremayne Simpson
