Keeping students eager to learn
The first week of class after giving my students a brief description of the course content and things they are going to be doing I require them to make a list of goals pertaining to the course. Throughout the quarter they are asked to look at their goals an see if they have accomplished any if not what do they need to do to accomplish at least half of their goals.
I like to keep my students engage with special
projects this will give them a chance to earned
extra credit on their final grade.
That is a great suggestion of keeping the learner engaged and in charge! I like for them to problem solve what they have been learning daily and weekly for them to feel more accomplished, too.
I create an outline that requires students to read cases, introduce them to legal concepts which usually has the student leaving the course with the idea he has learned something of value regarding black letter law.
