Trust the Process
I feel the suggestions this module are very helpful. When I started teaching I had not realized how important getting the students motivated by getting them in small groups and working together really was. By using some of the examples given I found that both the students and myself felt class time was better used.
Hi Jerri,
I understand! I like to use a variety in my teaching methods because you are right some students will complain.

A careful consideration must be noted. If too many individual group learning experiences are delivered; or not balanced with course content, students can claim "I paid good money for you to teach me". Interestingly, there is always a naysayer in the group which can if not monitored, dominate the environment.
Hi Aaron,
Students will evalute the entire learning process, good or bad, and we as educators must do our due diligence to make the students experience top quality.
